Welcome to LeTort Quilters of Carlisle
Our Story
In November 1983, a group of passionate quilters took a “Christmas Quilt” class at Needlecrafters, a shop on Pomfret Street in Carlisle, Pennsylvania. Sensing a shared interest in forming a quilt guild, they circulated a sign-up sheet during the class. By the spring of 1984, the LeTort Quilters was officially born as the Carlisle chapter of the National Quilting Association (NQA). Over the past 40 years, our guild has grown and evolved, with countless quilts made and memories shared. As we celebrate our 40th anniversary in 2024, we continue to honor the traditions that brought us together while embracing new possibilities in the art of quilting.
