"Memories"
Chris and Rex McCaskill, of Castle Path Quilting, have done the
research, now they will share with us their knowledge of heirloom
products and some samplings of their creativity. Find out how to make
your own memory quilt, or get prepared for the assistance of a
qualified quilt maker. Prepare to be awed as they detail how
their love of photography and quilting have come together as works of
art
Information on summer programs coming soon!

Goals
The
goals of the Main Street Quilt and Thread Guild are to foster
the appreciation of quilts, quilting and the other fiber
arts among both quilters and the public, and to provide an
encouraging environment in which fiber artists can practice and
exchange ideas. Our goals also include increasing the knowledge
of traditional and contemporary techniques of quilting and
cloth-related arts, and educating the public as to the
significance, history and preservation of fiber arts as an
ongoing art form.
