Big Quilt Group
First Monday - Daytime

Hi! I am Vi McConnell. Our group meets at the Holiday Recreation Center on Moog Road on the 1st Monday of each month, from 9:30 to 3:30pm October thru May. We are an informal group of women who come and go as we please. We recognized that many of our members needed a large table to “sandwich” their bed size quilts, hence our name. We are able to provide those tables, but you don’t have to work on a large quilt in order to join us. Bring whatever project you are working on, your own supplies, from machine to extension cords. We have tables and wall outlets. There are many talented ladies in the group, who will always help you out with your quilting questions and needs. So bring a bag lunch and join this great group of quilting friends.
Contact: Vi McConnell or email Sue Berry

Meets every Tuesday from 9:00 to NOON. Bring your lunch and your sewing, whether by machine or by hand, to share in the wonderful fabrics, trims and techniques that make Crazy Quilts so unique. The meeting is held in one of the Vet’s classrooms or in a corner of the room at Contractors’ Institute during the summer months.

1st Friday Sit and Stitch
First Friday - Daytime

Nita Fox and Sue Gillespie co-coordinate for this group. We meet on the 1st Friday of each month-se. Our meeting time is 9:15-3pm. Come when you can - leave when you must. Bring a brown bag lunch as we have kitchen facilities available. Bring whatever you want to work on. If you need help with sandwiching, please bring it along and we'll help you put it together. Our group varies from 10 to 25 members on any given month. No officers, rules, dues, etc. We like to have a “Show and Tell” just prior to lunch, and in the case of a larger group being present, we will go around and introduce each other and the projects that we’re working on. This is a great place to socialize and meet new quilting friends from the guild, get new ideas, or even give a few. We have so many talented quilters here, you’re sure to get that answer you have been looking for. Look forward to seeing you!

Fabulous Last Friday Group
Last Friday - Daytime

Our group meets the last Friday of the month at the West Pasco Historical Society in downtown New Port Richey. The museum is located around Orange Lake at 6431 Circle Blvd. NPR 34652 - just across the street from Sims Park. This group is new and I would like to make it a time to share with each other. Bring whatever you are working on and we will take some time to show and tell and help each other as needed with sandwiching quilts, suggestions or help with sewing problems. We will meet from 10:00AM. till 2:00 PM. so bring a lunch or snack. We will have some special times to learn new projects, possibly take field trips, sewing in the park and may work on charity items as needed. Mark your calendars for the last Friday of the month and I look forward to seeing you there. All are welcome and bring a friend.
Any questions contact, Kathy Soman

Tuesday Evening Nimblers
Every Tuesday - Evening

Join us EVERY Tuesday evening from 6-10PM at the Contractors Institute Learning Center located at 15409 US Hwy 19 Hudson 34667 (about 1/2 mile north of New York Avenue on the west side of US 19 in Hudson – look for the billboard). Our group focus is hand quilting and we appreciate the participation of anyone who wishes to join in (we’ll gladly teach total beginners and are very grateful for experienced hands). We work on lap, hoop, and frame applications - come and help with one of the boutique or charity quilts that we are always working to finish. Not a hand quilter? NO problem - you’re welcome to bring your own project - the Learning Center has plenty of room (and tables) to sandwich, layout or work on whatever project you’re involved in.
Come spend an evening with friends – everyone is welcome.
