The purpose of the Quilters Guild of East Texas is to preserve the heritage of quilting, to assist members in developing a high quality of excellence in quilting, to be a source of information and inspiration, and to provide a gathering of people with a common interest and promote and improve the circumstances and encourage the disheartened and needy. To further share their work and be a source of inspiration in the community, the QGET has sponsored an annual quilt show every year except during the pandemic.
