The Meeker Quilters’Guild sponsored their 15th annual Summer Quilt Camp July 7-9. Mammoth Baptist Church graciously hosted the 3-day event which was attended by seventeen participants. The goals of the quilt camp were to teach basic sewing and quilting skills, safe use of sewing equipment and machines, teamwork, patience, having fun while learning the art of quilting and to complete a hand-tied lap quilt at the end of the camp. On Wednesday, the last day, the group celebrated with a pizza party and watermelon.
Workshop adult leaders included; MarleneYoung, Debbie Price; Denise Anderson, Roberta Deffenbaugh, Deigh Ausdenmoore, Becky Johnston, Judy Peace, Cheryl Perrault, Karen Ingle, Mariah McDoulett, Brittany McDoulett, Cindy Waters and Francie Russell.
In the 15 years the Meeker Quilters’Guild has sponsored the Summer Quilt Camp, 81 individual participants have completed quilts. Of the 81, many of them have attended the quilt camp numerous times for a total of 179 enrollments/ quilts.
The Meeker Quilters’Guild is thankful and appreciative of the community support, quilting fabric donations and Mammoth Baptist Church for helping to keep the art of quilting alive and exciting.
