June 17, 2026 June Meeting Venue Change: Church at Horseshoe Bay Louann Nichols - Bargello Trunk Show Hi All! I am Lou Ann Nichols and a happy quilter living in Conroe, Texas along with my husband, Allen and our pets Rosie, Bubby and Buttons. We have one daughter, Emily who is married to a wonderful man, Trey and two sweet grandchildren, Rylee and Garrett, who live in Houston. My quilting adventure started in 1973 with my first pieced quilt for my wedding taught to me by my soon to be Mother in law, Viola in which we used a piece of 4 ½” cardboard to put together a fun quilt using every type fabric she had in her scrap box. Then in 1987 I took up the hobby seriously and have been piecing ever since. After leaving the corporate world in 2009, I bought my first long arm quilting machine from A-1 and then in 2017 upgraded to a Handi Quilter Fusion long arm with a pro stitcher which I just love. My initial interest in long arming was just to quilt for myself, but then as the story goes, I started quilting for the public in 2011 doing edge to edge and playing with custom only for myself. I have won many awards on my quilts and have had two, Paradise in Bloom and Vintage Rose at the International Quilt Show in Houston and Chicago with one of them, Vintage Rose, being displayed at the Texas Quilt Museum in LaGrange, TX also. These Judy Niemeyer quilts were pieced by me and quilted by Valerie Wagner. For the last 6 years I have been teaching the 2 Fabric and Fab 2.0 Big Red Bargello quilts featuring the Susie Weaver pattern of the same name all over Texas and having a ball meeting a lot of fun quilters! Thank you for letting me share my story and look forward to meeting you all really soon!
