Vereins Quilt Guild of Fredericksburg
Meetings:
History:
In 1996, the city of Fredericksburg, Texas held a week long celebration commemorating its 150th birthday. As a part of that celebration, a quilt show was held. That show was put together by volunteers who had a love for quilts and quilting. During the course of planning and executing that show, it was evident that a number of women in Fredericksburg were interested in having a guild where quilters could meet on a regular basis.
In September 1997, a group of volunteers from the 150th show helped to organize a guild with the first guild meeting being held in
November 1997. At that meeting there were 42 women who
signed up as charter members. The Guild was named in
January 1998 and at the end of its first full year, the Vereins
Quilt Guild of Fredericksburg had grown to 80 members who
actively participate in all phases of guild activities.
Biennial Quilt Show: The Vereins Quilt Guild will present Quilts in Bloom in 2004. It will showcase a Trunk Show by Alice Kolb, quilts, wearable art, wall hangings, award winning quilts and recognized antique quilts.
