Create an Heirloom

Chair:  Barb Bowman  (765) 586-8178
Meetings:  2nd Wednesday (Sept. – May) at 7:00 p.m. You will be contacted before each meeting to let you know the project, supplies needed for that month, the cost, and a reminder to RSVP.
Participation Fee:  No dues; kit costs range from 50 cents to $5.00, but the majority are less than $3.00. Sometimes members will opt to bring their own unfinished project instead or to seek help with a previous project. Projects for the upcoming year will include finishing techniques for cross stitch ornaments, cross stitch biscornu, felt Christmas ornaments, cards, Small Stitch project, and a fabric ball.
Create an Heirloom was formed in 1981 to explore a variety of old, new, and updated needlework, sewing, and quilting techniques. Each month we learn something new in a lesson taught by one of our members using a small kit. Instructions are usually included so the member can get a good start on the project at the meeting and then complete the project at home at her leisure. Members are always willing and able to help novices with the project.

Meetings are held in members’ homes, and social interaction is often enjoyed as much as the project. No previous needlework or sewing experience is required. The only requirements are membership in PWC and a willingness to try something new.
