Cashiers Quilters
Written By: Jodie Nidey | Issue: 2018/10 - October
The Cashiers Quilters will offer a detailed look at the craftsmanship and diversity of modern quilting with a display, a boutique, a silent auction, and a bake sale from 10:00 A.M. to 4:00 P.M. Saturday October 6, at Albert Carlton-Cashiers Community Library. Everyone is invited to attend. There is no charge for admission, but donations are welcome.
On the Saturday of the Cashiers Leaf Festival, October 6, from 10:00 A.M. to 4:00 P.M., the Cashiers Quilters will exhibit a variety of handcrafted and quilted pieces at Albert Carlton-Cashiers Library.
In addition to items on display, there will be a silent auction featuring a large quilt crafted with fun fall fabrics made by Peggy Rieckelman. This quilt would be a bright addition to a family room or
dorm room.
A display of “One Block Wonder” quilts made by members of the guild during a workshop taught by Suzanne Wingate and a display of Art Quilts using a technique taught by Carol Daniels will be highlighted. Many other quilts using varying techniques will also be
on display.
The boutique will have handcrafted items, including Christmas and holiday varieties of décor, ornaments, table runners, and placemats. Fabrics, including “fat quarters,” plus patterns, books, quilting supplies, and more will be available to purchase. Proceeds from the show are used to buy supplies needed to make flannel lap quilts donated to the homebound seniors of Southern Jackson County and to support the expenses of the guild.
Cashiers Quilters meet every Wednesday at St. Jude’s Catholic Church in Sapphire from 12:30 to 2:00 P.M. Prior to the meeting we meet at a variety of local restaurants at 11:30 A.M. Check out the lunch schedule and calendar at cashiersquilters.com. We enjoy sharing our inspiration and knowledge of the quilting arts with one another. All are welcome, from beginners to accomplished quilters.
