More About Us
Over
the years, the Windy Quilters has grown to about eight "core"
members and some occasional drop-ins who meet on Tuesday evenings
at the Springdale Community Bible Church on Lucas Road in Springdale.
The focus of the quilters began as a group of women who wanted
to learn or improve their quilting techniques. It has grown
into a group of women who spend a great deal of time lovingly
stitching quilts to comfort members of the community who are
experiencing or recovering from a serious illness or family
disaster such as a fire.
Besides
making comfort quilts throughout the year, the Windy Quilters
stage a quilt show each July at the Corbett 4th of July Fun
Festival. The show is held in the cafeteria of the grade school
on the Historic Columbia River Highway in Corbett, OR. At this
show, we demonstrate quilting techniques, answer questions from
those who come to view the quilts, show between 30 and 40 quilts,
some new and some old, and raffle a quilt.
