The El Campo Quilt Guild Sewed my “Happiness is Quilting” 2017 BOM Quilt Together!

“Happiness is Quilting” 2017 Block of the Month Quilt. An original quilt designed by TK Harrison from BOMquilts.com“Happiness is Quilting” 2017 Block of the Month Quilt.  An original quilt designed by TK Harrison from BOMquilts.com!

Our El Campo Casual Quilt Guild, in El Campo, Texas, started with a group of 10 women making baby quilts in the 1990s. In 2005 they formed a quilt guild. They met at the Boys & Girls Club during the school year. Then at a building called the Northside Center during the summer months where we still meet. We currently have 38 members. We meet the first Wednesday of each month.

Each year we make two quilts and raffle them off. This money is used to buy supplies for the items we make and donate. We call ourselves the Casual Quilters because we do not have strict rules. Our main purpose is to have fun while we quilt!
