Fellowship Groups – May 2024

CtK Piecemaker Quilters

The Piecemakers group is in need of a few more people who are interested in helping us keep our ministry thriving at CtK. We sew quilts to donate to NELM, and CtK members & their families (Graduates, baptisms, retirements, comfort) as well as other people who need to know that someone cares about them.

We have members who would be happy to teach you the basics of quilting (Hint: that means sewing a pretty straight line!) and the difference between pressing and ironing (HINT: quilters press fabric).

We meet on the 3rd Tuesday of each month starting at 10:00 to sew together, laugh together and usually enjoy lunch together. We have a couple extra sewing machines and fabric available to sew if you want to give quilting a try. Any of us will be happy to teach you what we know about making a quilt.

Please consider joining us for our next meeting on May 21st @ 10:00 in the CtK Community Hall. And if you have any questions, please feel free to talk to any of us (Judy Danielson, Judy Olson Carol Orlowski or Cora Landgren) when you see us at church. Any of us can answer your questions or give you more information.
