Did you Know?

If you are adding a hanging sleeve to your quilt, it is easy to sew the sleeve in place as you sew the final edge of binding across the top.

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.

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!

Bees

We also have about 20 Bees (for a short description of each click here ). A Bee is a smaller group of quilters (typically 8-15 people) that meets to provide an opportunity for members to get to know each other, learn new skills and share quality quilting time.

Picture takers needed!  If you bring your digital camera to guild, quilt shows, Bee events or other candid shots, please send your photos for the website to Betty Baker!

Please remember that workshop fees help enable the guild to bring top quiltmakers to lecture and teach.   If you've never attended before, give it a whirl!   You'll find it can be great fun - and give you lots of ideas for new projects or ways to finish old ones.

Be sure to check the Calendar for upcoming events  and the Calendar EVENT page  for Quilt show and other events around Texas!
