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 Doll Makers Club: 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 rlherman@skybest.com (336)466-3574. Facebook: High Country Doll Artists |
