Pine Bluff Quilter’s Guild to meet

The Pine Bluff Quilter’s Guild will meet at 9:30 a.m., Tuesday at Trinity Lutheran Church, 4200 Old Warren Road. Guests are always welcome, according to a news release.

The February Program will be “Presidents Day.” Past and present guild presidents will present a showcase of their work. February 27 and 28 will be the start of the guild’s two day sewing days at Trinity Lutheran Church. President Dianne Graham mentioned this would be a good time to start working on projects for the guild’s table at the Veteran’s Day of Service on May 6, according to the release.

Show-and-tell, along with fat quarter and door prize drawings will be held after the guild’s business meeting Tuesday. Members with birthdays during February are asked to bring door prizes, which should be related to quilting or sewing. Door prizes are given out at the end of the meeting and all winners must be present.

Everyone is encouraged to bring a fat quarter (18 by 22 inches) of 100 percent cotton for the monthly fat quarter drawing. The color choice for this month is green. At any time, white or white on white is acceptable. The Pine Bluff Quilter’s Guild has an annual membership fee of $20. Anyone interested in learning the art of quilt making is welcome to come, visit and become a member, according to a club spokesman. Membership is open to all who are interested in quilting, no prior experience is needed.

The purpose of the guild is to insure the continuity of the craft by teaching the techniques of quilting, and to encourage, and promote an interest in quilting to the public. “Come and join us. What you don’t know about quilting, we can teach and what you know about quilting, we can learn,” the spokesman said.
