Lakeview Quilters Guild -- Houston Clear Lake

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.

~ Below, you will find our latest news ~

Sew-In Number 1 is Coming! Please note the cate/location change!
On Saturday, June 15, 8:00 to 4:30 pm, LQG will be hosting a sew-in in the upstairs classrooms at Gloria Dei Lutheran Church. Come and bring projects to work on -- applique, binding, hand quilting, or machine work. In addition, Sue Garman will do a demo on precision piecing - if you wish to participate, click here for a look at the quilt and supply list (and Sue says if you just want to do some quick practice, bring a pile of scraps).

NEW-->> Lottery Blocks
The May lottery block is Charm Squares, a nine-patch block made using 9 different squares of fabric. Detailed instructions for the block can be found by clicking here. How does the lottery work? Make two blocks. One is for the lottery; the other is for the guild's August 2013 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 money that helps pay for our programs.

NEW-->> The Farmer's Wife Club

Do you like sampler quilts with a variety of blocks in them? If so, consider joining the Lecia M's Farmer's Wife Club. It meets each 4th Sunday from 3:00 to 4:00 at Pinwheels and Posies. Using patterns from The Farmer's Wife book by Laurie Aaron Hird, everyone is invited to make four blocks a month - and to donate one more (extra) block from that set for the guild's annual auction. This is a great way to meet fellow guild members, to see fabrics others choose to use for the blocks, and to have enough blocks, over time, to make a lovely quilt. Click here for information about the May 26 meeting.

NEW-->> Guild Retreats
The 2013 Fall Retreat in Round Top will be a fun weekend in September, starting on the 5th and ending on the 8th. Retreat chairs Tonda Helm and Diane Grafton are asking for volunteers to help them; check the newsletter for details and a registration form. And the 2014 Spring Retreat dates have been set for Wednesday, March 19 through noon on Sunday, March 24.

NEW-->> Workshops
Check out upcoming workshops by looking at the guild calendar. Workshop sign-ups are taken at the Workshop table at guild meetings, or contact Valerie M. Sign-ups are considered confirmed only after payment of fees. Sign up early as slots often fill quickly.

Community Service Quilts
Interested in making a community service quilt? Check out our Community Service webpage and scroll down for a list of suggested sizes of quilts. Kits are available for cutting squares, piecing squares, quilting, and binding.

The 2013 Raffle Quilt
Our 2013 Raffle Quilt is beautiful, and many guild members deserve our thanks for helping to make it. Check it out here. We need help selling tickets, so sign up to take our quilt out and about - and meet some lovely people. We'll be selecting the lucky winner in June.
