The “Piece Makers” are a group of quilters who meet four days each week to create items like baby quilts, burp cloths, baby bibs, thread catchers, walker bags, kitchen towels and even full & queen sized quilts. 

During the event, raffle tickets will be sold for the “Piece Makers’” annual Holiday Quilt, which is a queen size quilt that comes with two pillow cases.  The drawing for the Holiday Quilt will take place at the agency’s Holiday Luncheon on December 18, 2015. 

This general public is encouraged to attend and pick up handmade items for the holiday season.   There is no cost to enter the Arts & Crafts Bazaar.  Prices of items will vary by vendor.
