We are glad to announce that Quilt Cruizine for 2019 is ready to roll. Please note that The Quilt House from Indian River is not on the route but a new shop, Aunt Effy's, from West Branch is. The route will run counter clockwise, so the first stop after boarding at Delphine's will be Hearts to Holly in Charlevoix. This is going to be an awesome trip so I hope you can join us! See you soon.
Note - The buses leaving from Aunt Effy's and Delphine's are full so please contact Cousin's or Hearts to Holly to secure a seat on their bus. Thank you
Circa 1880's Club
The main project is this Mini Uneven Nine Patch Block Quilt ( 72" x 78"). Group members are exchanging fabric strips from their stashes to provide a variety of prints in addition to the 27 prints from The Circa Prairie Basics fabric collection.
The program is supported by a private Facebook group, where Pam will interact directly with quilters, sharing blocks, tips and inspiration. Prizes and coupons will be given away at all meetings!
A request and a Thank You from our QOV piecers!
Several people have stepped up and quilted tops for the QOV group! Thank you. If you haven't offered to quilt a top but would like to, we can still use quilters. Please contact the shop at 989-732-1252 if you are able to help.
If you like to sew down binding we could use some volunteers for that task also.
Please contact the shop if you can help us complete quilts needed for upcoming presentations.
