The quilting club has more than 150 members who love to sew, quilt and share their skills with others. The group offers educational classes and meets monthly to share information and ideas.
Each year, the club challenges its members to design and create something new and unique. The Dresdent Plate, due in March, is the current challenge, according to the club’s website, pebblecreekquilters.org.
