Covered Bridge Quilters Guild to hold April 2 meeting

Guild member Carol Gerbitz presents handmade bags at April 2 meeting in Princeton; open sew day also planned

Members of the DeKalb County Quilters' Guild donated almost 200 placemats to Voluntary Action Center's Meals on Wheels program. The placemats will be given to Meals on Wheels recipients for their special holiday Christmas Eve lunch.

The Covered Bridge Quilters Guild will hold its monthly meeting at 6:30 p.m. Thursday, April 2, in the New Hope Church of the Nazarene, Princeton.

This month’s program will feature guild member Carol Gerbitz presenting a bag trunk show featuring many of the bags she has made. Light refreshments will be served.

Guests are encouraged and always welcome at guild meetings. There is a $5 guest fee, which can be applied to the guild membership fee if someone joins the night of the meeting. New members are always welcome. Anyone interested in joining the guild may do so for an annual membership fee of $24.

In addition to the monthly meeting, the guild will also have an open sew day at the church starting at 10 a.m. Thursday. Bring your projects, machine, handwork, or whatever you would like to work on and join us.
