We are an easy-going group of quilting enthusiasts who join together to share our works, stories, techniques, ideas, and friendship. Each meeting begins with a "Hello" and current information followed by Show and Tell. Most meetings we have a class or project to complete presented by our member volunteers or special guest. Participants bring a sack lunch and their own sewing machines and enjoy learning new techniques, completing new projects, and mostly having fun. We hope you will join us.
