 Welcome to the Lakeview Quilters Guild Website

Lakeview Quilters Guild invites you to join us on the third Monday of every  month.  We are a Houston/Bay Area guild and we welcome quilters of all ages and experience levels.  Throughout the year, we host nationally-known speakers and offer a variety of programs, workshops, quilt-ins, retreats, and opportunities for community service.  We encourage you to join us in our love of quilts and quilt-making.

NEW-->> LOTTERY BLOCKS  
The May lottery block is a perennial favorite:  the Cowboy Boot.  Start imagining the varieties of fabric you can use to make some of these wonderful blocks!  How does the lottery work?  Make two blocks.  One is for the lottery; the other is for the guild's August 2012 auction.  For each two blocks you make, you get one chance to win all the blocks in the lottery set.  The more you make, the greater your chance to win - and the guild block-set raises funds that help pay for our programs.  For instructions on making the lottery blocks due at the next guild meeting, click here.
 
NEW-->> FALL GUILD RETREAT
The guild's annual Fall retreat is coming!  Make plans now by reserving September 6-9, 2012 on your calendar.  The price is $210, plus $12 if you wish to order a Thursday night dinner; non-refundable deposits are due well before the retreat, so be sure and check out the registration form.  This favorite retreat is full of fun in a rural setting filled with vintage decor, quilts, friendship, great food, and more!  Check the newsletter for more details, or click here for the Registration Form.
 
NEW-->> SPRING GUILD RETREAT
The guild's annual Spring retreat is history now... but a huge thanks goes to the committee that organized it - and to all of the guild members who attended.  What fun we had!  Make plans now by reserving March 21-24 of 2013 for the next Spring retreat!

OUR RAFFLE QUILT! 
Becky M has done an absolutely fantastic job in getting our quilt out and about -- the funds this quilt raises will cover the costs of many speakers in the coming year.  She still needs your help, though:  sell tickets, and help take our quilt out for ticket sales.  Contact Becky if you want to help (or send an email to the website - it will get to her).  To view our 2012 raffle quilt, click here -- "Feathered Roses" is a quilt we ALL want to win!
