2023 Programs

December Program - Christmas Party

November Program:      Quilt of Valor
You are sure to enjoy our November program as we honor Veterans at our November Quilts of Valor presentation.
The Quilt of Valor Quilts we will be awarding were made by our own Fort Worth Quilt Guild quilters.  Imagine how meaningful it will be to honor our local veterans who served in the U.S. military.  You will find this to be a truly proud moment to celebrate Veterans by awarding them a Quilt of Valor.    It is so awesome to hear about these heroes and help us to celebrate their service to our country.  
​Members of FWQG have made the blocks and contributed quilting and binding of these quilts – a gift of respect and honor.   
Remember to bring a snack to share with our guests and members!
Bring a friend and invite a FWQG member to join you in honoring our Vets!

Then we will show some of our favorite quilts and tell you about our favorite designers, patterns, techniques, tools, etc. Learn how we’ve evolved (or not) as quilters in our twenty plus years as members of the Fort Worth Quilt Guild. We promise to be entertaining and maybe even funny.
