The Meeker Quilters’ Guild sponsored their 14th annual Summer Quilt Camp July 8-10. Mammoth Baptist Church graciously hosted the three-day event which was attended by 11 participants.
This year, four adults joined the youth enrollment. 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.
Workshop adult leaders included; Marlene Young, Debbie Price; Denise Anderson, Roberta Deffenbaugh, Deigh Ausdenmoore, Becky Johnston, Judy Peace, Jolene Meier, Glenna Lane and Francie Russell.
In the 14 years the Meeker Quilters’ Guild has sponsored the Summer Quilt Camp, 71 individual participants have completed quilts. Of the 71, many of them have attended the quilt camp numerous times for a total of 162 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.
