Sue Robinson, a retired educator, is holding an interest meeting for a new Quilt Club in Mitchell County. Mrs. Robinson is passionate about quilting, and the cultural heritage of the Appalachians. The Quilt Club will be open to all ages, and will teach any interested parties how to machine and hand-quilt.
The club is being sponsored by the N.C. Cooperative Extension, Mitchell County Center. There are plans to find the club a permanent space to use as a Quilting Resource Center, to house machines, frames and other equipment. Mrs. Robinson’s vision of the center is a place where we can promote and support cottage industry in Mitchell County, and a showplace of one of our finest crafts.
The Quilt Club will be holding an interest meeting February 1st at 1:30 at the Mitchell County Senior Center, 152 Ledger School Rd, Bakersville, NC 28705
All are welcome.
