OUR MEETINGS
We meet the first Saturday of every month from 9-11:30am in the Gathering Room. We start each meeting with a check-in and share time. It is fun to see progress on community service projects as well as other personal projects.
Instructions for projects are available at meetings. While most people work on their projects at home, some of us bring our sewing machines to our meetings and work there. Quilters can choose fabric from our fabric bins or select from kits containing everything needed for each project.
Feel free to join us to learn more about what we do!
