Kay Weinzirl took first place in the smaller quilt category. Sue Kulig took second place and Alice Weickelt took third place in the smaller quilt category. A BIG thank you to everyone who participated this year. We are certain that all of the recipients of these wonderful quilts will cherish them.

Sewing Club

Welcome back to Club! We have resumed Sewing Club meetings. At the 2022 Club meetings we will feature a "bag" or two--there will be lots of different kinds of bags. Jesse and Jamie will lead our September meetings, and feature a variety of techniques including many fun projects to inspire you for your fall sewing. Meeting times are Tuesday, September 6th,1-3 p.m. and 7-9 p.m.; and Saturday, September 10th, 10 a.m.-noon.  Club members should email or call letting us know which session they plan to attend.












We have created this reversible table runner on our serger.  We hope you find time to try it and send pictures if you do!

If you prefer a sewing machine runner, the following is the reversible runner we made at Izzy's birthday party 2 years ago.

When we can start up our regular classes again, the reversible Izzy runner will be offered in "Beyond the Basics", and the serger runner can be made in our "Serger Fun Club".
