SUN CITY QUILTERS
Members of the Sun City Quilters enjoy making all sorts of quilts, from patchwork to appliqué to modern to art quilts. We hold bimonthly meetings on the 2nd and 4th Tuesdays with programs, demonstrations and show-and-tell. Monthly classes are offered on the 3rd Thursdays, from September through April. We meet informally from late May through August. Our annual quilt show in March also raises funds for charity through profits from the quilt show boutique, treasure table, and an Opportunity Quilt that our members have made. New members are always welcome, no matter whether you are a beginner or an experienced quilter. Come join us and make new friends!
To reserve the BabyLock quilting machine, sign up for quilting classes and get class information and supply lists, please go to signup.com. You must be a resident of Sun City Oro Valley, AZ to take classes and use our long arm.
