What do you do when you lovingly volunteer to travel with your husband to watch him shoot rockets and fly model airplanes and you want to stay home and sew?  Why you take your machine to the flying field and sew away!  That's what Michelle M. did last weekend!  Notice the hand-crank sewing machine and the big smile!  'Sure honey, I'm watching!'

Send your quilty pictures  of your friends to the Historian or to Betty, she will get them posted!

Judith Mobley- Quilt Angel 2008

  Congratulations to Judy Mobley for being awarded the Quilt Angel award for 2008.  Her generosity and willingness to share were some of the quotes from those who nominated her.   We received a Thank You note from Judy:  "I'm still speechless and in awe of being the recipient of the "Quilt Angel" award.  I had no idea doing what I love most, quilts and sewing, led to the special award.  Thank you and the guild".

The Meetings

Our meetings begin at 7:00 PM with social time from 6:30 - 7:00. Each month we have a short "business" meeting before members share their latest accomplishments with "Show and Tell". We then take a break for cookies and drinks before enjoying our speaker (for a calendar of upcoming speakers click here). Past speakers have included Billie Lauder, Trish Hodges and Pat Speth. Some months we are also able to offer a separate workshop (usually the following Thursday or Saturday) with that month's speaker.  Meetings are at the Salt Grass Trail Building, Farm & Ranch Club, Abercrombie Drive off of Patterson.

We design our programs to be attractive and educational for all levels of quilters from beginner to experienced. Every meeting provides new tips and/or inspiration. To further this goal, one meeting during the year is devoted to exhibiting different quilt making techniques instead of hosting a speaker.

Our History

The West Houston Quilter's Guild is a non-profit organization founded in 1993 with the purpose of developing and nurturing appreciation for the art of quilting and its history. Simply put, we are a group of people who love quilts!
