First Thursday Block of the Month club is thrilled to have last year’s Pieceful Nights sampler chosen as a special quilt show at Quilt Expo in September.

Civil War Club
3rd Tuesday of each month • 9:30-10:30 a.m. Civil War Club is for reproduction lovers and historical buffs. Our project for 2010 is the Civil War Tribute quilt. 2011 will be 150 years since the start of the Civil War. Marcus Brothers Fabrics, Judy Rothermel, and Homestead Hearth teamed up to create a gorgeous 100" x 112" quilt to commemorate this event. The quilt highlights a variety of star blocks. Each block represents a major battle of the war. Historical references to the battle are included with each pattern. Join Mary every third Tuesday to see a presentation of the new block, discuss the battle commemorated, and share show and tell. Make the previous month’s block and be in the drawing for free fat quarters. Kit fee of $27.95 required each month. The program begins in January and continues through December. New members may join throughout the year if we have enough kits. Hosted by Mary Schmitt.
UFO Club
3rd Wednesday of each month • 9:30-10:30 a.m. UFO Club is for anyone who can claim to have three or more UnFinishedObjects (quilts) needing more than the binding.

Drawing occurs twice a year at the June and December meetings. Hosted by Dianne Larson. FREE
