A Brief History…

On the third Thursday of March, 1994, six women gathered in Lynn McDonald’s air conditioned sewing room to discuss quilting over donuts and coffee.

Soon, the ladies decided to come up with a name for their small group and Shadow Mountain Quilters was born. Over the next few months, membership grew to 12, and the group was able to meet twice monthly at the much more spacious Ruud Community Center.

Thirty-four plus years later, Shadow Mountain Quilters has grown to over 100 members and hosts an annual quilt show. Additionally, SMQ works with the Town of Pahrump to run the Arts, Crafts, Food, and Horticulture section of the Fall Festival.

Charitable Activities…

Our Charity Committee members work with schools and organizations in Pahrump to learn of local needs that Shadow Mountain Quilters can help fulfill.

Our members make quilts of all sizes for the organizations we serve. Some of the quilts we donate become gifts parents give their children for birthdays or Christmas. Our members never know who is going to receive their quilt but we know our gifts are made with love and the hope they will brighten someone’s life.

Without our members generosity the guild’s donations would not be possible. We are grateful to our membership for sharing their time, talent, and materials.
