The Quilt Makers Club
This popular club will continue but with the start of a brand new year, lets change it
up a little bit! - Every month you will have a brand new classic star block pattern with
innovative and time saving piecing techniques to learn while making it. Make a star
every month and by the end of the year you will have enough to make a wonderful
bed size quilt! The creative layouts for all the blocks will remain a mystery until the
end of the year, but it will be worth waiting for! Of course, ideas on how to use every
particular block by itself will be provided every month too!
The class is $5.00 and includes the pattern.
Sat. 10:30 Sept. 27, skip Oct., Nov. 22, Dec. 20 call 837-1372 to join!
Grand Quilter Club
This group was originally formed to help members with their Grand Quilter machines. As we explored various quilting options and discussed problems we came to realize that what we were discussing really applied to anyone machine quilting with any machine whether domestic or long arm. The format of the meeting is discussion/lecture/video and sharing. We welcome anyone with an interest in machine quilting.
Membership Fee: Only $30.00/year or $5.00/month!!!!

Quilter's Workroom
On the second Monday of each month TOT is opening its classroom space to any of our friends and fellow sewers who would like to use the space. It's free too!!! There is just uninterrupted sewing time - no commotion, no kids, phone calls, cats, dogs or unwanted relations to bother you. So you can concentrate on your sewing project. And best of all, if you have any questions, need an opinion, or are unsure of how to do a technique the TOT staff will be there to lend a hand.

Calling Those Who Sew and Those Who Don't Help TOT Help
Those Coping with Breast Cancer Treatment
The American Cancer Society's program, Reach to Recovery, matches breast cancer survivors with breast cancer patients. The survivors give of their time to visit the breast cancer patients after surgery, to answer their questions, provide comfort and support and give them a "recovery" kit containing things to help smooth their recovery. One of those things is a "Comfort Pillow" which helps ease pressure in the area of the surgery. All supplies are provided, but it is a big help if you bring your scissors. You can bring your sewing machine too if you like.
Join Us at TOT
Sunday, October 19 from 1-4
We need people to cut out the hats and pillows, sew them together, stuff the pillows and finish them off. So even if you can't sew a stitch but want to help we have things you can do. (No small children Please)
