Yankee Quilters, a local guild of dedicated quilters, will begin its program year on Tuesday, September 12th at 7:00 PM at Emma’s Quilt Cupboard in the Horace Mann Plaza. Quilters from new to experienced are welcome to join.
Yankee volunteers work each year to create quilts which are donated to area shelters, church programs or others facing personal challenges. Anyone with basic sewing skills can help with these charity quilts throughout the year.
In addition to monthly meetings on the second Tuesday, guild members offer speaker programs, opportunities to sew together throughout the year and a four-day “getaway” sewing vacation in the spring.
This year for the first time, Yankee will have a booth at the Franklin Farmer’s Market on October 6th with a hands-on lesson in patchwork as well as hand-made items for sale to support its charitable work. Other activities include a quilting “stay-cation” at which members and non-members can sew on their own projects at Christ the King Lutheran Church in Holliston.
For more information about any of these events, please contact yankeequilters11@gmail.com or visit the Guild’s Facebook page.
