We usually make something, have show and tell, work on projects, etc. And we always have a door prize! Please come, we'd love to have you!

There are always dolls on exhibit by the doll club in the doll section of the store.

Upstairs Gallery now open!

We changed our store around and now we have space for show casing quilts. Displays are free, you are welcome to hang your quilts and we’d love to have your fair entries, your guild entries, (any ribbons should be attached) and your lovely works whether they were entered or not.

Please call or email the store requesting the month you want to display your quilts – or perhaps your small group would like to display!
