Quilt Guild program set for May 20

FORRESTON, Ill. — The next Country Crossroads Quilt Guild program is set for Monday, May 20 and will present Linda Halpin from Reedsburg.

Halpin will be presenting a trunk show of quilts featuring her diminutive 1-inch-by-1-inch pieced squares and triangles. This style of quilt all started with her fascination in using tiny scraps that were cutaways during construction of quilts. Making new creative ways of using these scraps became a trademark of her quilts. Halpin will have copies of her books for sale as well as some retired quilts available for purchase; cash or check only.

The program will be followed by refreshments, a business meeting, and show-and-tell.

Guild meetings are held at the Forreston Grove Church, 7246 Freeport Road; Forreston, Ill., on the third Monday of each month (except December) at 7 p.m., with ample time to meet and greet members before the meeting. Visitors are welcome, but there is a fee for non-members.
