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 the Ashe Senior Center at 2:00 PM.  The Senior Center is located at 180 Chattyrob Lane in West 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.
