Tarheel Quilters Guild was started in
1981 and has grown steadily, with about 100
members today. e nonprofit organization's
primary objective is to promote and
perpetuate the art of quilting.
Among its special projects are Valentine's
Day lap quilt donations for veterans at the
Veterans Affairs nursing home and crib quilt
donations to babies in the neonatal unit at
Cape Fear Valley Medical Center.
Other activities include:
• Secret Quilters: Members bring a small gi
for their "secret quilter" each month. At
the end of the year, the secret quilter is
revealed.
• Fabric exchanges: Members bring a fat
quarter — a piece of fabric cut 18 inches
off the end of the bolt. e winner of a
drawing gets all the fabric in an assigned
color or theme.
• Sew Days: Quilters can bring their own
projects, participate in group projects, or
show up with questions.
Membership is open to anyone 10 or
older. Quilting experience is not necessary.
Upcoming meetings are scheduled at
Westminster Presbyterian Church, 2505
Village Drive, Oct. 15, Nov. 19 and Dec. 17,
all starting at 2 p.m.
