The Piecemaker Quilters would like to invite all those interested in quilting (or wanting to learn how to quilt) to join us. You’ll find us a warm and accepting group who makes quilts for baptisms, the sick and elderly, as well as for various mission projects for those in need here at home and abroad.

CtK Book Club

The CtK Book Club meets on the second Thursday of each month at 3:00 pm in the CtK Library.  However, we won’t have a regular Book Club  meeting on December 12th so we can participate in our annual Holiday Luncheon.  Then on Thursday, January 9th, 2020 we’ll kick off the new year with a discussion of the book, “Before We Were Yours” by Lisa Wingate. Our February 13th discussion will be “My Dear Hamilton” by Drae & Kamole.  Then on March 12th, we’ll discuss “A Gentleman in Moscow” by Amor Towles.  A popular book, “The Color Purple” by Alice Walker will be the topic of our discussion on April 9th, and then another popular book, “The Sun Also Rises,” by Ernest Hemingway will finish out our discussions on May 14th .  We’ll be on Summer Break until September 12th (so stay tuned for our book line up coming in the Fall).

You are invited to drop in at any time and join us for some lively and enriching literary discussions—new members are always warmly welcomed! For more information about any of our reads or activities, please contact Stella Welcher at 970-903-9327.
