Quilting for everyone

The Red River Valley Quilt Guild is open to anyone – experienced or novice – interested in quilting.

Monthly meetings

We meet on the 2nd Saturday of each month from 10:00 a.m. to noon in the administrative building at the Red River Valley Fairgrounds. We have a business meeting and a program.

Show & Tell

Our Show and Tell is a time of sharing our projects and experience with one another. Members take turns providing snacks because where there are quilters, there are snacks!

The Quilt Raffle!

The Paris Quilt Show Raffle is proud to benefit East Texas Men’s Rehab, a ministry of Adult & Teen Challenge of Texas. Located just outside of Paris in Deport, this program helps adult men find freedom from drug and alcohol addiction through faith-based recovery and life transformation. Originally established in 2013 as the Texas Dream Center, the ministry later joined forces with Adult & Teen Challenge of Texas to continue growing its impact. Many of the staff leaders are graduates of the program themselves, bringing personal experience, hope, and guidance to the men they serve
