The Dancing Quillers of VT/NH are a group of square dancers from Vermont and New Hampshire who have also taken an interest in quilling. The group was formed in late 2010 when Marianne had been taking her quilling to square dance workshops to do between the dancing tips. Everyone was curious to know more about quilling. Eventually five of the dancers decided to take Marianne's Basic Quilling Class. After that class they wanted more get-togethers (sometimes called mini-meets). New people, (friends and family), have been added to the group. You do not need to be dancers. The group is very friendly and invites other quillers to attend our mini-meets. It is a fun day of quilling and learning new techniques from each other. Some have joined the North American Quilling Guild.

History:The group's first project was making quilled magnets and bookmarks to raise money for the National Square Dance Convention held in Springfield, Massachusetts in June 2015. Each magnet had a quilled New England state bird and flower on it. Each bookmark has either a quilled New England state bird or flower on it. Ninety percent of the proceeds went to the 2015 National Square Dance Convention. The Dancing Quillers donated their time making the items.

**Our quilling workshops at the National Square Dance Convention were a huge success! We did 2 workshops with a total attendance of 55 people who made a small greeting card with a basket of quilled flowers on the front.
