elcome to Rectory Quilters. We are a patchwork and quilting group based in New Milton, Hampshire. Our group is not only about the pleasure of sewing, but also the enjoyment of meeting one another and sharing our interest, knowledge and skills.

We also use our love of patchwork and quilting to help others, raising funds for several local charities through a number of different events including our Tea @ Three and previous Quilt, Flower and Music Festivals. We have updated our News page with this information.

History of Rectory Quilters

Rectory Quilters was originally a very small part of the 'Vicarage and Rectory Quilters'. We were mostly mums with young families, all in need of some time to relax, sew and enjoy some good company.

Soon the New Milton group began to grow, and we were invited to meet in the Rectory at St Mary Magdalene's, and then in the church hall. As our numbers gradually increased to 17, it became apparent that it was time for us to form an independent group and Rectory Quilters was established.

The group continued to flourish and, following a successful exhibition in 2003, we doubled our membership to 38 and moved to a larger venue at Our Lady of Lourdes Church Hall.

In 2017 we moved back 'home' to the large hall at St Mary Magdalene Church. We have had 4 more Quilt, Flower and Music Festivals, since our first one in 2003.

We welcome visitors to the group....please email if you would like to come.
