  Giving Tuesday is an international day of generosity that happens every year on the Tuesday after Thanksgiving. This day was created to encourage individuals, businesses, and groups of all stripes to give back to their communities after the consumer-focused shopping days of Black Friday and Cyber Monday. GivingTuesday.org

  How donations make a difference to QGGH –With your support, our Learn to Quilt booth can reach even more beginning sewists at the International Quilt Festival, using the same model of sewing machine to create a welcoming learning environment. Our Comforters group is actively assembling quilt tops that are ready for quilting and they need batting, backing, and binding fabric to transform them into comforting quilts. These quilts provide warmth and support to individuals who need a hug at a challenging moment.
  
  Our Charity Quilt Day, which produces many of the tops distributed by the Comforters, relies on donations of fabric to create these important pieces. With 300 members, the Guild faces the challenge of maintaining a safe meeting space and adequate storage for all the supplies needed to support our outreach activities. The numerous hours volunteered by our members show their dedication.

  Your donation is essential in helping us continue this vital work and spreading comfort to those who need it most. Every dollar received allows the Guild to focus on the mission “Dedicated to promoting the Art of Quilting and providing an opportunity for sharing ideas and learning new techniques.”

  Matching Funds: A member, who wishes to remain Anonymous, will match the first $1,000. A second donor, who also wishes to remain Anonymous, will match the funds from $1,000 to $2,000.

  Goal: $3,000 member donations, $2,000 matching funds

  Watch your email for stories and social media engagement using the hashtag #GivingTuesday and #GoldenJubilee. 

  Thank You!

  Diamonds are a Quilter’s Best Friend

  

  Krista Moser is the designer of the 60 Degree Diamond Rulers for Creative Grids, and published dozens of patterns, using the rulers, with more in development all the time. She loves symmetry, clean lines with bold colors and thinks shapes that tessellate in all directions are a playground for design.

  ​A quilting and fiber arts enthusiast, she started sewing at 8 years old. Her professional sewing and machine quilting career started at the spunky age of fourteen and has been teaching sewing and quilting lessons for more than twenty years.  Please check out her website at https://www.kristamoser.com/

  This charming pattern with its simple white flowers and ladybug blocks gives you a fresh look without tedious piecing… there are no Y seams! Gain confidence with piecing angles. Triangles, diamonds, hexagons, and trapezoids combine to make three main blocks: the flowers, the ladybugs, and the leaf blocks. Each one illustrates a different technique that will be valuable additions to your quilting skills library. Use a simple palette to get this sweet look, or use scraps from your stash for an eclectic style!

  QGGH Business Meeting

  Linda Stokes

  (Joins us in-person)

  It all started as a little hobby.

  My adventures in the hobbies I’ve started

  Linda joined the Quilt Guild of Greater Houston in 1999 and, although she took a few workshops when her day job schedule permitted, she did not participate too much in guild activities.  That changed when she ran a Charity Quilt Day one year. This was followed by Board positions beginning in 2009 – Program Elect, Evening Programs, Day Chair, President, Quilt Show Chair 2013 and 2015, volunteering at events with the guild such as Learn to Quilt booths and demonstrations at Contemporary Craft Museum, all helped by the fact that she retired from corporate work and had “free” time in retirement.  She is a member of the Comforters Bee.   Participating in the guild has allowed her to have a wide circle of friends – women who are creative, generous and fun to be with. 

  She is a native Texan, graduated from University of Houston with a BBA in Finance and has lived in Houston since 1978 with the greatest husband – some of you know him as X.

  Making Magic, a Disappearing Sampler Quilt

  Brita Nelson

  March 18, 2026

  
  

  9 AM - 4 PM

  ZOOM ONLY!

  Members $50.00/Non-members $65.00

  Do you remember Brita’s lecture in 2024 and how amazed and excited we all were with her disappearing blocks? Now we can learn from her, hands-on, via Zoom so your stash is handy. Make a scrappy quilt or limit your colors, its up to you. No kit to buy (you do have to buy the pattern). We will make 9 different blocks in the workshop. And as if that’s not enough, Brita will give each of us a handout with 20 additional disappearing blocks to use in place of, or in addition to, the 9 in the pattern. The handout does not come with the pattern and is only available to people who attend the workshop.

  Putting Your Best Foot Forward

  for Quilt Show Competition

  
  

  Our certified Judge, Shawn Sickle, who judged our 2025 quilt show, and our own, Lois Kindley, are eager to guide you into 'putting your best foot forward' as you prepare your quilts for our upcoming Joy of Quilts Show in January of 2027. Their judging experience, enthusiasm, and love of quilting will help participants understand what judges look at, how to improve specific quilt-making skills, and hopefully serve as a source of inspiration on their quilting journey.
