The Cabin Fever Quilt Guild was organized in 2001 and not long after that, it became a 501(C)3 with membership today of around 40 quilters in Alberton, Superior, St. Regis and the west end of the county.
The group is probably best known for its annual quilt show that is held in conjunction with the Mineral County Fair, taking over much if the first floor of Superior High School. At this event, the guild features one of its own as Quilter of the Year who receives this award from the membership vote.
The guild also raffles a large quilt that generates money that is distributed to many groups in the county, but today the proceeds are dedicated to all three schools for either industrial or fine arts.
