A request and a Thank You from our QOV piecers!
Several people have stepped up and quilted tops for the QOV group! Thank you. If you haven't offered to quilt a top but would like to, we can still use quilters. Please contact the shop at 989-732-1252 if you are able to help.
If you like to sew down binding we could use some volunteers for that task also.
Please contact the shop if you can help us complete quilts needed for upcoming presentations.

The Circa 1880 GroupThe main project is this Mini Uneven Nine Patch Block Quilt ( 72" x 78"). Group members are exchanging fabric strips from their stashes to provide a variety of prints in addition to the 27 prints from The Circa Prairie Basics fabric collection.
The Circa 1880 Club is designed to bring quilters together in a special way -- You will meet other quilters, trade fabric strips, learn hints and tricks on working with strip sets and small blocks, and participate in fun activities. The program is supported by a private Facebook group, where Pam will interact directly with quilters, sharing blocks, tips and inspiration. Prizes and coupons will be given away at all meetings!
As an added benefit, Club participants receive six small quilt projects featuring th
e same Uneven Nine Patch blocks.
The cost of the Club is only for materials as there is no attendance fee at Delphine's for this club. For $85.00 members will receive $100+ worth of fabric, 7 patterns and a template set. Fabric kits for the 6 small quilts will be $75.99 or club members can use their own fabrics to make the small quilts. Club members will need to purchase 4 yards of background fabric for the Mini Nine Patch quilt.
This Club will meet the Second Saturday, of each Month from 10:30 am to 12:30pm, starting in March.
