The Colorado Valley Quilt Guild
CVQG was founded in 1998 with 70 charter members. We currently have 129 members who come from counties along the Colorado River valley including Fayette, Colorado, Bastrop, Lee & Lavaca.
We meet the 4th Tuesday of each month at 10 a.m. in the odd months & 7 p.m. in even months at First United Methodist Church Fellowship Hall, 1215 Von Minden Rd., La Grange.
We host "The Best Little Quilt Show in Texas" the last Friday & Saturday in February & have three retreats each year & sponsor a bus to the International Quilt Festival in Houston.
Community service has always been a major part of guild activities with projects such as small quilts for area nursing homes & child advocacy groups. CVQG supports the Fayette County Country fair by providing a judge for the quilt department. Our Speaker's Bureau Committee provides speakers & related services for area non-profit organizations as well as quilting demonstrations at the Fair, Czechfest and Winedale Historical Center.
CVQG President, Kathy, presents our annual “A Cut Above Award “ to Kay at our August meeting.
Kay has been a long time member of CVQG and has held many offices including President, Quilt Show Chairman and Program Chairman. Kay has also served as a committee chair for various committees and is presently in charge of our membership yearbook. Kay is a strong promoter of the art of quilting not only to the general public but to many of the novice quilters in our guild. She is always willing to share her talents and her expertise with new quilters and encourages all of us to try new things.
