Sandi Price The Material Girls Quilt class, which was started by Marguerite Rose 12 years ago, is still going strong, with a new class in 2024. This year it is being led by Sharon Westbrook, a relatively new member of our group. She isn’t new to quilting; however, for she started a quilt group in…
Sandi Price Last month the Material Girls Club traveled to the new Boxcar Quilts location out in the country. We needed explicit directions to find it and discovered it was located in a barn. Yep, a real barn. But it was unlike any other barn I have ever seen. This one has been turned into…
I wouldn’t call Sharyn Hughes a bag lady—not with her gorgeous, one-of-a-kind, designer purse line. She began making tote bags in 2019 to relieve her boredom during COVID-19. Wow! What a way to relieve boredom. Then it evolved into more challenging projects, which included detailed bags, handbags, purses, backpacks, and fanny packs. Since 2020, she…
Sandi Price Every month we get a chance to show off the work we have done, and the variety is not the only thing amazing, but the intricate work is fantastic.

In the beginning, Marguerite Rose, founder of the club, commented, “I doubt you’ll get 100 masks made.” After all the masks were completed, she joked, “If you had…
Sandi Price The Material Girls Club at Robson Ranch (RR) Texas has been sewing masks … a lot of masks. To date, we have donated over 4,100 masks. Our goal is 5,000. There are 75 volunteers led by coordinator Sandi Price. Material Girls Club members make up 95% of the volunteers. The rest are Robson residents.…
Sandi Price It seems like the Material Girls are always on the go around Texas. But this month we did a tour in our own backyard and visited three of our members’ sewing rooms. Now, if you have ever seen a quilter’s sewing room you would realize that these rooms are rarely clean enough to…
Paula began sewing as a young lady at ten years old in 4H. There she entered the fair every year and took home five blue ribbons – one for each year. For years she sewed her own clothing and was never interested in quilting, until her sister introduced her to it in 2009 (after she…
