Country Quilters of McHenry has been a guild for a long time... 35 years!  While some founding members are still attending, many of the guild members have not been members quite that long.  And some members are fairly new.  And we're just a wee bit smaller than we used to be. We'd love to welcome even more members to our guild so we're going to....

We'd love for more local quilters to join us so we can see what awesome quilts they are making and so they can share their knowledge, tips, and tricks with us.

We'd love to see new members who are new to quilting so we can delight in watching their delight as they discover the awesomeness of quilting!

More members means more participation in helping the local community.

More members means more quilts for a quilt show.

More members means more helping hands for a quilt show.


So with all that in mind we will have a table at the Woodstock's Mixin Mingle Mother's Day Market. Mixin Mingle is on the Woodstock square at 124 Cass Street, right next to Yofresh Yogurt.  The Woodstock Farmers Market will be going on at the same time.  We'll be there Saturday, May 12th from 10am to 2pm.

Our table will be filled with information about Country Quilters.  We'll be there to "brag" about how wonderful the guild is and to answer any questions.  And we'll be selling little sewn items: zipper bags, coffee cozies, mug rugs...  

We'll have a spectacular quilt on display behind our table, with smaller samples of our guild members' work scattered about our space.

So if you are a member maybe you could make a thing or two.
If you're not a member (why not?!) but are reading this, stop by that day and learn all about us.
If you're not a member and just can't wait until May to check us out, join us at our next meeting. Guests are always welcome for $5, or you can join by paying a yearly membership fee of $25. We meet the first Thursday of every month at 7:00 (but we start gathering and chatting at 6:30) at Shepherd of the Hills Lutheran Church, 404 N Green St, in McHenry.
