Quilts, quilts, quilts! Trunk show is next

     We will celebrate the art of quilting at our next monthly public meeting to be held from 1-4 p.m. June 15 at the UAW Local 2209 Union Hall, 5820 East 900 North, Roanoke, IN (near the GM plant). Guest speaker Jo Wiedelman will bring a trunk full of her quilts featuring machine embroidery, applique, beautiful piecing and Kimberbell’s whimsical wall hangings. From Bluffton, she has been teaching a variety of classes for Edwards Sewing Center through the years and many of her quilts and other projects have graced the walls there and at Quilts ‘n Gifts in Bluffton, where she occasionally also teaches classes. One of her quilts is pictured at left.

     There is no admission charge. We always have a free table of goodies and invite you to bring one or two items for Show & Tell.

Mystery (Quilt) Solved!

 The 2023 rendition of our popular Annual Mystery Quilt Event was a hit again! The fun began at 10 a.m. on Saturday, February 11 when the first of four clues - with printed instructions and a video - was emailed to participants, with another following every hour. By mid-afternoon we were still guessing, then came the big 'reveal'! See our version of a Chandelier quilt pictured at left. Click here for the instructions and a link to the videos or go to our Events tab and click on Mystery Quilt. We have past quilts with instructions and videos there, too. Happy quilting!
