Pine Bluff Quilter’s Guild to meet Tuesday

The Pine Bluff Quilter’s Guild will meet at 10 a.m. Tuesday at Trinity Lutheran Church, 4200 Old Warren Road.

This month’s program will be presented by Charleen Lybrand, who will demonstrate making a sweatshirt jacket. Members are invited to follow along making their own jacket.

Several guild members selected and purchased the fabrics for use in making the CASA quilts and this will shown to the guild by Imogene Perrine.

Show-and-tell, along with fat quarter and door prize drawings will be held after the business meeting. Members with a birthday during the month of January are asked to bring a door prize, which should be related to quilting or sewing. Door prizes are given out at the end of the meeting and all winners must be present. Members are also reminded to wear their name tag. Lunch will be brown bag.

The fat quarter choice for January is pink or red. At any time, white, white-on-white or beige or beige-on-beige fabric is accepted. Everyone is encouraged to bring a fat quarter (18-by-22 inches) of 100 percent cotton.

The Pine Bluff Quilter’s Guild has an annual membership fee of $20. Anyone interested in learning the art of quilt making is welcome to come, visit and become a member, according to a club spokesman. Membership is open to all who are interested in quilting. The purpose of the Pine Bluff Quilter’s Guild is to ensure the continuity of the craft by teaching the techniques of quilting, and to encourage, and promote an interest in quilting to the public.

“Come and join us, what you don’t know about quilting, we can teach and what you know about quilting, we can learn,” a guild spokesman said.
