The Heart in Hand Quilt Guild brings another great FREE display of quilts to the Bowen. These beautiful works will be on display from September 14 to October 25. Take a tour of over 89 quilts dripping from the rafters of this vintage schoolhouse building. Visitors from as far as Montana to California, Florida to Maine are amazed with this exhibition. Docents from this fun and active group will be on hand mid-day for tours and information. 

Come to our Opening Reception Saturday, September 12 from 1-3pm. Meet this energetic group of fiber artists from all over North Georgia. Bring friends and family and enjoy refreshments and snacks for a fun afternoon.

Join this Guild and enjoy laughter, create, commune and give back and create joy with wonderful projects that help others feel happiness. Membership is only $20 per year. They meet at the Bowen every second Tuesday of the month from 5:30 to 6:30pm. Drop in for fun! For more information, email Brenda Perez, Guild President at brendaroseperez@gmail.com.

This group has a heart of gold! Every year, they help out with numerous charities and support groups. Shown above is a workshop group of stitchers who worked for over two days to produce baby quilts for the local orphanage. With a gift of a quilt, they provide happiness to community support centers and non-profit groups such as EMS rescuers and children’s and senior centers. 

Every year this guild donates a quilt to the Bowen to help support arts in our community. Tickets are only $1.00 or six for $5.00! The beautiful king size (100″x100″) quilt this year is titled Knockout Neutrals designed by Pat Wys. Almost every guild member participated in the quilt’s creation by donating fabrics, then it was on to the crews who cut, pieced, laid out pattern, then final quilting. Many thanks to Kat Tomicek, chair of the Raffle Quilt  – and to everyone for all their efforts! Also shown above are Qrazy Guild Quilters s Robin Correnti, Treasurer and past President, Pat Melcher.

Thank goodness for groups like the Heart in Hand Quilt Guild!

Bowen hours are Tuesday to Friday 10am to 4pm, and Saturday Noon to 4pm. See you soon.
