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.
