General Information
The Marquette County Quilters' Association (MCQA) was formed in 1978 and is dedicated to the promotion and preservation of the art of quilting, patchwork, appliqué, and related fiber arts. Centered in Marquette, our members hail from several counties in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan.  MCQA is a nonprofit 501(c)(3) organization whose members make and donate quilts to various charities, provide education on the art of quilting and host a bi-annual quilt show.  Further history of MCQA may be obtained by reading an article written in 2006 by Alice Johnson for the Michigan Quilters Link the publication of the Michigan Quilt Network.  If you would like to read the current MCQA By-Laws, please click here.
