Morning Quilt Group: Every Tuesday morning, 8am-10am,

quilting, or if you have a quilting problem, this group will help you.
Don’t have a project? Just come to visit!
Egg Money Quilt Club: Barb will be
leading this fun group. You will be learning Eleanor Burn’s
techniques to make this lovely quilt. The quilt features
blocks of many sizes, adding to the design
possibilities. Each month you will work on a block
and learn techniques to make your piecing more accurate.

Dear Jane Support Group:
This
isn’t a new club, but we are always welcoming new members!
(Janiacs!)
The club is making quilts inspired by the 1863 quilt made by Jane
Stickle. We use the book, “Dear Jane” by Brenda Papadakis
in this
club. Each month we help each other make another block in
this
beautiful quilt, but more importantly, we are making wonderful
friendships. We encourage anyone to stop by to see what we
are up
to. This class is a great way to improve on your applique
and
foundation piecing, as well as your machine and hand piecing
skills.
There is no fee for this club, but purchase of the book is
required. This
group meets with Shelley the 4th Tuesday of the month, from
6pm-9pm.
