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!
