The Red River Valley Quilt Guild has brought inspiration and knowledge to quilters in the northeast Texas area since 2000. We began with 15 members forging "Links of Friendship," and our logo was born.
We meet the 2nd Saturday of each month at 10:00 a.m. at the Red River Valley Fairgrounds in Building 3, the Community Exhibit Center. Visitors are very welcome! See a fairgrounds map by clicking on this link. https://www.paristx-rrvfair.com/copy-of-coliseum
The Purpose of the Guild is fourfold:
A. To foster appreciation of Quilts and the art of quilting among quilters and the public
B. To increase the knowledge of traditional and contemporary techniques of quilting and to provide an encouraging environment in which quilters can practice and exchange ideas
C. To educate the public as to the significance and history of quilting as an art form as well as an ongoing craft
D. To serve the community through service projects.
Most quilters have several loves in common - love of fabric, love of being with other quilters, and love of using our gifts and talents to help others. All year we make quilts to donate to local groups such as CASA, Dylan's Drivers, and Quilts of Valor (read more about Quilts of Valor by clicking on its tab at the top of the page).
"Eiffel in Love with Quilts" is produced to introduce a wider public to quilting and to help raise funds for local organizations. This year's guild raffle quilt raised a little over $2000. Thank you all for helping! The lucky winner is Ron Alexander from Emory, Texas. Ron is in the Marines, and his wife, Laurie, is a beginner quilter.
Proceeds from this year's first responders raffle quilts, a little over $700, were donated to the local 100 Club for distribution to families of fallen first responders. In addition, the Red River Valley Quilt Guild donated an additional $2000. See the three quilts and read more about the 100 Club on our Home page.
Proceeds from the fourth raffle quilt (seen here) will help defray the costs of presenting "Eiffel in Love with Quilts." The quilt was made by Zita Warmke and quilted by Arlene Hatcher, both gifted quilt artists.
