Thimbleberries Quilt Club 2008

 

 

 

This Club has developed into the largest and best Thimbleberries Club in the Chicagoland Area. Debbie has so many creative ideas to spice up the program and she also keeps her helpers busy making samples.  Club meeting are great fun!  The past few years our  Club meetings have been held on the third Wednesday of the month at 10:30AM, 1 PM and 7 PM. This year we are adding a Saturday 10 AM morning class (on the Saturday following the Wednesday meeting).  We are trying to accommodate everyone's busy schedule by adding Saturday plus we don't want the classroom to get too crowded.  Club members are welcome to come to any of the meeting times.

    Jo’s Little Women Club 2008

     

    This year we have changed the format of our Jo's Little Women Club.  The hands-on format of the past included only Jo Morton's quilts and fabrics.  We really enjoy Jo's things but wanted a format to give more people a chance to participate and also include some "friends".  The Civil War style of quilts continues with an emphasis on precision but other designers will be included.

    Teachers: Kitty and Betsy

    Annual Club Fee: $25

    Dates:  September 3, October 1, November, 5, December 3.  10:30 AM, 7 PM
