Welcome

Celebrating 27 Years

The Red River Quilters' Guild (RRQG) began in 1984 with a few people gathering together the first Monday night of each month to quilt at the yarn shop with owner Louise Sommerville. As the interest grew, Louise ran ads in the local newspaper and Rusty McCollough sent notices to Quilters Newsletter, other quilting publications and all news media within a sixty-mile radius of Wichita Falls, inviting quilters to join. From the small beginning, the guild has grown to more than 100 members. The guild sponsored its first quilt show in September 1985 and currently sponsors a quilt show every even year. The Red River Quilters' Guild (RRQG) is a non-profit, non-discriminating organization. Its purpose is to presever the heritage of quilting.

Membership

Membership is open to anyone who is interested in quilting. Dues are fifteen dollars ($15.00) a year. Visitors may attend two (2) general meetings before membership is required.

A Monthly Newsletter is published to keep members informed of guild activities. Advertising space is available by contacting our Newsletter editor. The guild also maintains a library with books, patterns, videos and quilting stencils for members' use.

Scholarship

The guild presents a scholarship to a Midwestern State University student for fall and spring semesters. The guild also sponsors a miniature quilt action at the guilt quilt show, with miniature quilts donated by members. Members also make a donation quilt as part of the fund raising activity.
