Are you interested in joining a quilt guild? If so, please consider joining the Ashe County Piecemakers Quilt Guild.
We are a group of fun ladies and gentlemen (yes, we do have men in our group) who meet to sew and socialize together. Our guild meetings are the second Thursday of the month and we meet at Jefferson United Methodist Church at 1:00 PM. Jefferson United Methodist Church is located at 115 West Main Street, Jefferson.There are several small groups that meet weekly (see bottom of page) and we have at least one workshop each month. We also go on day trips to quilt shops and shows. You are invited to attend any of our activities and we always welcome new members. Our quilters range from beginners to experts.

Small Quilt Groups
|
You're invited to join any of our informal quilt groups. Sew Day is every Wednesday morning at the Generations Ashe Senior Center in Classroom 1, 9AM-12PM. You do not have to commit every week. It's a great way to work on personal projects or help with a community service quilt. Come to find inspiration for your own projects. The High Country Quilters meet on Tuesday mornings, twice a month, at the Ashe County library from 10-12. It’s an informal get-together of ladies who quilt, sew, knit & visit. Please contact the library to confirm which Tuesday they will be meeting. High-Country Figurative Artists: 2nd Saturday of the month, 10 AM at the Ashe County Arts Council. Do you enjoy creating dolls? Or would you like to learn how to create them? If so, you are invited to join the High-Country Doll Makers Club. They mainly work in cloth and mixed media and celebrate the doll as art. You are invited to visit, or contact Rebecca at [email protected] (336)466-3574. Facebook: High Country Doll Artists |
