Abbey Quilters is a small, friendly Patchwork and Quilting group which meet at 7:00 pm in the Abbey Row Centre, Kelso on the second Tuesday of every month between September and June. The membership for the year is £15 or £2 per meeting.

The meetings are very informal and usually take the form of a group member or guest speaker demonstrating different techniques, then the members have an opportunity to try out their newly learnt skills.
