The purpose of Quilters Guild of East Texas is to preserve the heritage of quilting, to assist members in developing a high quality of excellence in quilting, to be a source of information and inspiration, and to provide a gathering of people with a common interest, to foster fellowship among quilters: and to contribute to the welfare of the community by designing, creating, and donating sewn items to those in need.

What it reported doing in 2024

Quilt Shows: community education, fund raising event The annual (except during covid) quilt show is our two day tax free fund raiser. 197 quilts were displayed at the citys conference center and was open to the public for a small fee. Demonstrations were available to the public from educational purposes on quilting, our charitable services. Donated items from members and non-members were sold to raise money for the charitable programs and assist the guild's mission statement. Approximately 1000 people attended the event, including public and members.
