When We Meet
Twice weekly meetings
will continue throughout the summer on Monday and Wednesday
afternoons in the Oakwood Room between the hours of 12:30 and 3:30
pm, while summer residents continue working on the many charity
quilts that we are able to donate.
Lessons/Classes
Our group has many talented members that
share their talents by providing classes and lessons throughout
the fall/winter season. Our two activity chairpersons keep
us all busy with block exchanges, procedure demos, a mystery
quilt that is in the works for later in the year, plus other
activities to provide interest and variety for all skill levels.
Craft Fairs
There will be large quilts available for sale at the craft shows
in March and
November.

 NEW
RAFFLE
QUILT
The new raffle quilt to be given away at the quilt show on
March 17th (2012) was, as usual, a joint effort by our talented
quilt group. The original Dresden pieced blocks were
donated by Norma Reynolds as she became unable to finish the
quilt. Marcia Todd was the driving force behind the
completion of the quilt with help from Barbara Nicholson who
appliqued the "plates" to the background. Jan Carpenter
did the excellent job of machine quilting. Many others
assisted in selecting the fabrics to be used and the binding
after it was quilted.
2011 Donations
- The funds from the sale of tickets on our fund raisers allowed
us to contribute $250 each to the following charities in 2011:
House of Refuge, United Food Bank, East Mesa Baptist Church Food
Bank, Cornerstone Hospice, East Mesa Fire Department, Ryan
House, Banner Health Foundation , Banner Children's Hospital,
and Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Fund.
