Lily - you are very close to me!

Nona - I go down to Surfside a lot so very close to you. I've been to Calico Cats in Lake Jackson. Is there a quilt shop in Angleton?

Daisy - I'm not sure where I found out about the Katy quilt show but I already have it in my calendar. If I'm in town, I am going to try to make it for sure.

I know, I know - I missed the quilt show last year. I was working in Austin for 3 weeks right at that time. I was so upset since I work downtown and could have run over to the Brown. It's on my calendar already for 2011.

Gabby - I'm going to show my ignorance but what exactly is a guild meeting. I've read about guilds but not really sure what they are.

Yes It is called Southern Lady. It's in the center of downtown on Velasco. There is also a new one in Lake Jackson called I believe sew n sew. It is open some wierd hours and I haven't been there yet. If you are heading this way, pm me and I'll get the current hours and location.

a guild is a organized group of quilters. They usually have a meeting about once a month, with a speaker or program related to quilting. Ours has a library of quilting books and magazines which you can check out. It is a group of women (usually) who have the same types of interests. We have a silent auction to raise money for the guild every year in April and we empty our "no wants" to let someone else take home for their sewing centers. The funds help pay for the speakers and other guild expenses.A guild usually has "bees" or the different types of quilting interests...charity projects, mini quilts, fiber arts, etc. These usally range from 6 to 20 members who meet either weekly or monthy for their own types of specific quilting.

I can't think of the name of the shop right now either but I will let you know if I remember. Does that sound like the one you are looking for? |

Little Stitches (in the Township in Missouri City) is NOT closing - SEW CONTEMPO is the store in Missouri City that is closing. |
Thanks for clearing that up! That makes more sense.
