Thread: Texas Quilters

I'm in Keller, northeast of Fort Worth

Hello, I live in San Antonio. I would love the opportunity to get together with other quilters from Texas. A friend of mine is the innkeeper of a bed and breakfast in Comfort, Texas. She has asked me about a quilting retreat. But, I don't know if there would be any interest or how to put one together. However, just the opportunity to meet somewhere and meet everyone would be great!

I'm in Alvarado Texas about 10 miles from Mansfield Texas

I live south of Austin and near San Marcos.

I'm a transplanted Texan who resides in Ohio right now. I visit Texas often. I usually go to Dallas, Houston, Galveston, Austin. I lived in Texas for 12 years. About to head down to visit family/friends in Anson, TX about 30 minutes from Abilene.

I'm in San Antonio. Renee, we spoke of meeting once and never got together.

I m in Hamlin. That s between Abileen and Sweetwater.

I am in South Dallas - evenings would be best for me - Wednesday or Friday evenings - or Sunday

Poor little ol' lonely me...stuck out here in Midland all by myself! Hope ya'll all have a really good time at the Dallas show..I'll get there someday! I did get to travel to Lubbock over the weekend to fabric shop...Picked up about 30 pounds of cotton prints and tons of quilting magazines at an estate sale, all for only $10.00!!! Boy, do I need to get busy!

I live in Coppell, located just a bit north of DFW airport.

Lucky you. Live here in Lubbock and I am never that lucky to find a deal like that.

Where are retreats here in TX? I'm new to quilting and haven't been able to find any retreats. I have gone to scrapbooking retreats and have alot of fun.

South of Sherman

I'm in Anna, north Collin Co. The Van Alstyne Quilter's Guild (just north of me) meets on the 1st Monday each month - refreshments start at 6:30pm & the meeting starts at 7pm. We usually wrap up by 9pm.

I was born in Texas but grew up in So Cal.

Have any of you shopped at Stitchin Heaven in Quitman? I have ordered several times online from them and the pics of the store make it look like quilter's heaven.

There is one in Tomball, but I'm not sure how you would find info. There are several on Lake Texoma, but I think those are quilt guilds.

There is a quilt shop in Van Alstyne, Alford Inn, that could be used as a retreat place. And I was told there is one in Pilot Point or Collinsville and one in Gainesville.
