Under the Calendar tab above is the listing for September 2010 meeting times and locations. Normally the SUNS, STARS and BOARD meetings will be on the 1st Monday of each month, but occur a week later in September because of the Labor Day holiday. Also notice that the WEARABLE ART DIVAS, ART QUILTERS and SIT & STITCH meetings have been moved from the 3rd Monday to the 4th Monday of each month. This allows members to also attend Community Quilts work session on the 3rd Monday each month. Also notice that Board Meetings will be held after the Suns Meetings around 3pm.

My first sewing experience was stitching appliqués on ditty bags in Girl Scouts. My mother taught me to sew simple clothes for my dolls. In junior high school I had to take a sewing class for home ec and then began to sew clothes for school. I became interested in quilts in the late ‘70s…..for more about Lane click here or look under the About FIQ tab above for Member of the Quarter…..
