Next Up: Small Quilt Auction


Did you see this beauty that Carrie Bloomston graciously donated to our Small Quilt Auction?  I hope you are saving your pennies, sewing your own donation quilt and/or inviting our friends and family to do some early Holiday shopping at our next meeting!

October 3- Small Quilt Auction Fundraiser:  Join us for our annual fundraiser. Please consider donating a small quilt or quilted item (bag, potholders, place mats. etc.) to be auctioned off on this fun night. Likewise, please invite a friend or two who might appreciate purchasing items. This is a great time to grab a one of a kind gift and it happens right before the holidays!

You can drop off your donated auction items early if needed to Debbie A. She is also seeking some help with the auction.She is looking for volunteers to help check in quilts, auctioneer, display quilts in the room, notating auction results, and cashiers.  



October 17th Meeting Toothbrush Rag Rugs. 
Debbie is hosting this  hands-on class learning how to make Toothbrush Rag Rugs. It's fun and easy and requires only 2 supplies- fabric strips and a tool Nimble Thimbles will be supplying.
What do you need to bring:
  • A pair of scissors
  • 1 inch wide by WOF (with of fabric) strips in your choice of color. Bring as many as you like since you can add later to make a bigger rag rug. We will bring extras for guests.

October 19 or 20-22 Quilt Camp in Prescott-  This is a great time to get away and sew at the beautiful Emanuel Pines Camp in Prescott. The price is inexpensive,  sleeping accommodations are simple, the food is good and the company is phenomenal! You will be inspired by all the different types of projects folks are working on and it is a great time to seek help if you are stuck on something.  Only 2 spots are available. Call Colleen for more information.

Save the Date! 
December 12- Annual Nimble Thimbles Christmas Party. Mary Platt  will host the party again at her lovely home. She and Kathy O'Brien, our dynamic duo, have been planning and will send out an evite in November. They could use some additional help that week. Please contact Mary by email if you want to help.
