Memory Makers Quilt Guild

Membership

Our small group (currently about 30 members) welcomes members who love quilting, both experienced and novice, and who enjoy an informal atmosphere. We are a member of Northeast Ohio Regional Quilt Council, and enjoy the benefits of this association, including participation in their annual Getaway Weekend.

Meetings

Regular meetings are held the 2nd Monday of each month at various locations in Cuyahoga Falls – Stow – Tallmadge area from 6:30 – 8:30 p.m. Occasionally, we have workshops or “Sit and Sews” on Saturdays. Be sure to check the calendar for details and changes.

Service Project

Each year, Memory Makers takes on a service project to serve our community. Past projects have ranged from quilts for Ronald MacDonald House, caps for cancer patients, clothes for premies at Children’s Hospital, quillows and hats for Access, and quilts and baby care items for Pregnancy Care. This year we will be doing a “back to school” drive and pillow cases for Access as well pillow covers for the cardiac unit at AGMC.

Memory Makers Getaway Weekend

In the Spring, we sponsor a no hassle, no pressure getaway in Amish Country for a weekend of quilting and relaxing.  Our next Getaway will be held April 4 – 6, 2008 at Charm Country View Inn.
