The Brazos Bluebonnet Quilt Guild meets on the second Tuesday of each month at
7:00 p.m. at the Brazos Center on Briarcrest Drive, east of the Earl Rudder Freeway (Hwy. 6 bypass), in Bryan, Texas. At most meetings, there is a call to order at 7 p.m., followed by announcements. Next is our program presented by the guest speaker. That is followed by the business meeting and a "show and tell" by members.
The BBQG's Board meetings are open to any member of the guild who wishes to attend, and members are encouraged to bring any matter to the Board for discussion or consideration. The Board meetings are held the first Tuesday of every month (unless it's a holiday) at 6:15 p.m. at the Arts Council Building on Dartmouth Street in College Station.
Workshops and other special events are noted below in green.
Programs/member meetings are all scheduled to be held in the Brazos Center and begin at 7 p.m. Locations for the workshops will vary.
