The Baytown Area Quilt Guild started in 1956 with 15 members. We now have about 77 members which is down from about 90 before Covid. Many have not returned yet. We meet monthly. We have a board of officers, hold our business meeting, then have a speaker who usually does a trunk show of their work.
We set a month aside for community service where we generally sew blankets and bibs for our local pregnancy resource center. We also bring other baby items to donate. Other months we collect items for the homeless shelter, the police dept., Love Network, or food bank. We try to be very community focused. We have an auction once a year as our fund raiser—a live auction of donated quilts from our members, and a silent auction. We also make a quilt each year and sell raffle tickets. All in all it’s a pretty busy group!
