General Meetings

The Woodlands Area Quilt Guild meets on the first Wednesday of each month (except November):

South County Community Center – Friendship Center
2235 Lake Robbins Drive (east side of Grogans Mill Road, next to the Library)

Social time is 6:00 – 6:30 pm. The meeting is from 6:30 – until the business is completed.

During the social time we visit with friends & folks we haven’t seen for a while. The library is also open for us to check out the guild’s extensive collection of quilting books. The business meeting will cover anything important to the guild, find out the status of any projects we have going on, and bring up any issues that require a vote. We also conduct the Raffle Drawing, the Block of the Month drawing, and Show & Tell. Finally, the guest speaker for the evening takes the floor.

Board Meetings

The board meets each month at the Friendship Center on the Monday of the week before the guild meeting. All guild members (including those not on the board) are welcome to attend board meetings.
