I belong to the West Houston Quilt Guild, www.WHQG.org. We have a membership of around 200 or so. We meet once a month and have many bees that meet weekly at different locations. We have had many wonderful speakers and workshops. We also have a lot of in-house talent. One of our founders was Susan Thomson (Quilts for Mantels & More). Our favorite man,Tom Russell, Art Quilter and Cynthia Regone (Colorful Quilts) are members. Paula Barnes of Bonnie Blue Quilts was a member for many years. We have 2-4 quilt retreats a year and some of the bees create their own retreats. Our guild has a quilt show every other year that includes a donation quilt, a tin can raffle and a quild store. We have a free booth at the IQA show in Houston called Come Quilt With Me. Members of the guild demostrate hand quilting Wed. thru Sunday. We invite those that stop to watch, to sit and hand quilt with us awhile. We work two hour shifts and get in free that day.
