History

The Garland Quilt Guild was formed in 2005. With Barbara Daniel as our leader, the first meeting was held at Suzy's Quilt Shop in downtown Garland. The plan was that the meeting would be held there until the group out grew the space. There were 78 in attendance at that first meeting (with ladies sitting on the stairs and peaking through the window trying to hear what was happening)- needles to say, a new facility had to be found immediately. Fortunately, First Presbyterian Church in downtown Garland was willing to accommodate our growing group. The Garland Quilt Guild started with 108 charter members and the first year ended with an impressive 136 members. Friendliness, helpfulness, and sharing are the strong points of this group.
