Piecemakers Putting It Together
The Piecemakers meet from 10:00 AM until noon weekly on Tuesday. This group of hand quilters finishes tops provided by members of the Piecemakers for charitable causes, usually for either the Disaster Relief auction or the Bridgewater Fall Festival auction. The group is also open to finishing quilt tops for individuals for a charge per yard of thread used. The cost of this work depends on the size of the quilt and the amount of quilting desired. The Piecemakers will mark, assemble, hand quilt, and bind the quilt. The individual engaging the work may choose where they wish the proceeds to go and are not limited to the aforementioned causes. The Piecemakers welcome those who may be interested in hand quilting and will instruct novices. Currently the Piecemakers are working on behalf of the Bridgewater Home Quilters on a quilt with a dahlia motif. The group is hoping to complete their work on this project in time for the quilt to be auctioned at the Bridgewater Home Fall festival this September. All those interested in the needle arts are invited to share in the work of the Piecemakers.Spring Cleaning
