Bring your completed quilts to our guild meetings so we can show them in our Parade of Quilts. Each quilt needs a label and we will have them there along with needle and thread.

Our monthly Communtiy Quilt Day is held the Wednesday after the regular meeting. We meet at the Nativity Luthern Church 60850 Brosterhous Road from 11:00 until 3:00. Please join us for a fun day. Bring your machine, basic sewing supplies, lunch and learn some new techniques and meet new people. The church asks us to contribute to their food bank by bringing one of these items each time we come.  The store with the best buy is listed following the item.

Directions to the church 60850 Brosterhous Road

Your best way is to come down Reed Market to 15th and then down 15th until it runs into Knott Road, then right for one block and you are there. Or you can come down 27th until it curves around and becomes Knott Road. You do not want to come down Brosterhaus as it has been and will continue to be under construction.
