Colorado Valley Quilt Guild to meet June 23

CVQG will host author Janet Shawgo at their June 23 meeting at 6 p.m.. She’s from Galveston and has been writing since 2009, with 11 published novels. Her most recent book, “ My Sister’s Qui lt”, tells the story of family through quilts. The book contains eight short stories that explore how quilts can hold the history of a family - marking special moments, honoring loved ones and preserving traditions that might otherwise be forgotten. Each quilt carries a story, and through her writing, she shares how those stories connect generations.

Janet will also share the inspiration behind the book, the role quilts have played in her own family and how quilting can become a meaningful way to document and celebrate family history.

The Colorado Valley Quilt Guild meets the fourth Tuesday of each month at the Randolph Recreation Center, 653 East Pearl Street, Room A East in La Grange. Guild meetings begin at 6 p.m. on even months and 10 a.m. on odd months. The meetings are always open to the public.
