About Us
Our history
The Pride of the Prairie Quilters was founded in 1984 by a small group of women who shared an interest in quilting. They founded this organization to develop and promote an interest in the art of quilting. Today's members strive to keep the founding members as an inspiration to grow the concept. Over the years, POP has affectionately become our nickname.
