If the Elm Creek quilt books are new to you, this Club will be a wonderful introduction! If these novels are your old friends, you will enjoy making some of the quilts featured in the novels. We are working on Sylvia's Wedding Sampler, and you may come and join us at any time. All levels of quilt experience are welcome, including beginners. Plan on staying during the club meetings to talk about the novel and to progress through the steps in making the quilt. There will be a technique demonstration at the beginning of most classes. Select your own fabrics for the complete quilt.

After careful consideration of all the excellent suggestions from our club members, our 2 machine sewing clubs have been combined into one! At each meeting a project will be offered ( suggestions welcome) that will expand the techniques experience of our machine owners and emphasize FUN. All Bernina and Elna owners who purchased thier machines at Sew Biz are welcome. There is no membership fee! The current plan is to offer Sewing Machine Club every other month.
