Notices of meeting time, place, and program are always front page news. Inside, you will find information about upcoming workshops, a calendar of upcoming quilt shows and events, and committee reports. In addition, local quilt shops and self-employed quilters may place ads for their services, upcoming sales, classes, and special events.

Friendship Groups
Friendship Groups are small sub-groups of the Guild which give members the opportunity to make new friends, share ideas and learn new quilting skills. There are many groups organized roughly by geographic area that meet periodically throughout the Metroplex.

Annual Retreat
Ever wanted to run away from home? Even if it’s only for a couple of days? We offer this opportunity for our members every year in the form of the Annual Retreat. Quilters meet at a location “away from home” for up to four days of slicing, dicing, stitching, etc. The atmosphere is relaxed, and the fellowship is friendly.
