Garland Quilt Guild

About Us

Garland Quilt Guild Purpose:
The purpose of the Garland Quilt Guild is to bring together people who share a common love of quilting and enable them to participate in community service projects which benefit those in need, while preserving a rich heritage and exploring new expressions of the art of quilting through education. The Garland Quilt Guild seeks to be a respected organization, known for its activities and programs and designed to enrich the lives of others in community.

Garland Quilt Guild History:
The Garland Quilt Guild was formed in 2005. With Barbara Daniel Cissne as our leader, the first meeting was held at Suzy's Quilt Shop in downtown Garland. The plan was that the meetings would be held there until the group outgrew 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). Needless 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.
