Boutique Sale at the September meeting! Get your "Scary and Merry" presents early. Doors will open early for shopping at 5:30pm.

See photos of select items at the 2025 QS Boutique page!
The boutique committee is busy being creative! We’ll have select items to sell at the September meeting – think Holiday shopping - and the quilt show will have the entire collection. If you see a craft item and think “I’d buy that”, let us know and we’ll check it out. If you’re not on the committee but want to contribute, stop by the boutique table where we can share patterns and discuss your ideas. If anyone has a wood worker in the family who has scrap hardwood they are willing to donate, we can use it for making clappers and ruler stands. Join us having fun!
