Is a Quilt-a-thon Right for Me?

Let me reassure you that whether you are a novice quilter, non-sewer or professional quilter or anyone in between there will be something at a Quilt-a-thon that will allow your talents to shine. 

Megan and Erin, members of a local girl scout troop came by in the afternoon to see what a Quilt-a-thon was all about. They showed off finished quilts to the volunteers. Behind them are volunteers who are coordinating flannel backings, cutting fabric into 6 1/2" squares and ironing seams that had been sewn today.

Judy and Joan opted to bring their sewing machines and work on pre-assembled kits. Judy is a member of the Unitarian Universalist Area Church First Parish Sherborn, where most of our Quilt-a-thons are held. The UUAC is one of our prime sponsors as well. Joan is a member of the Rhododendron Needlers Quilt Guild. RNQG is our other sponsor and a prime resource for support volunteers who can help those new to quilting.

Although most of our volunteers are frequent Quilt-a-thon attendees there are always first time volunteers as well. They are immediately welcomed to the team of Power of the Quilt Project Believers. Can you tell who is new and who is seasoned on this page? Unless you were at the October 13, 2007 Quilt-a-thon, I doubt it. That is what makes this such a fabulous group of volunteers to work with, everyone is seasoned and made to feel part of the team within minutes of walking through the door.
