Gulf Coast Quilter's Guild Members

May 2007 - Our 21st Birthday Bash

Getting Started

The co-founders of the guild were Mary Redus & Jaymee Varner. At 11am on May 10, 1986, a group of ladies met at Quakertown Quilts (then located at 108 E. Edgewood Ave or what is now called FM 2351 and was owned by Jaymee Varner) in Friendswood, Texas.

That was the first meeting of the Gulf Coast Quilt Guild.

The first board members were:
Mary Redus - President
Jaymee Varner - 1st Vice President
Sallie Valley - Secretary
Ruby Collier - Treasurer
Lois Moran - Membership/Bee Coordinator
Bill Corbett - Librarian/Historian
Christy Root & Sallie Valley - Newsletter
