A Stitch in Time 

Our group is having a great time learning new techniques and sharing finishes. Our stitching time together is handwork of some sort because we meet in a variety of members’ homes. Bring your own lunch and hostess will provide refreshments and a dessert. Meetings: First and third Thursdays of the month in members’ homes from 10:30 AM to 2:00 PM. The group is currently at capacity, but please contact Evelyn Eason to be added to the waiting list at emequilts@comcast.net or (281) 658-8296. 

EQ Users (Virtual) 

EQ (Electric Quilt Software) is a wonderful tool. You can use it to re-color an existing pattern to see how you like the results before cutting your fabric, or you can design your own blocks and quilts. If you have already purchased EQ8, or plan to purchase soon and would like some help and motivation to use it more effectively, join us! Contact: Denise Gies, (503) 407-0856 or scraphappydenise@gmail.com. 

Fabricators 

While many of us have known each other for 20 years, there is still room for new folks. Most of what we do when we meet is quiet hand work such as stitching or knitting. We meet at Sharon's Attic, 2950 SW Cornelius Pass Rd #100, Hillsboro, OR 97003, on Fridays from 1:00 PM to 3:00 PM. Contact: Carrie Perkins, Home (503) 643-4919, Cell (503) 880-3579.
