FRONTIER HERITAGE FAIR

We will once again be demonstrating the beautiful art of hand quilting at the Frontier Heritage Fair this month.  Members of Pioneer Quilters will be quilting around a frame both Saturday and Sunday.  We will also have a few completed and vintage quits displayed to delight your eyes, including an award-winning quilt made in the late 1990s by 4th and 5th graders in the Brattain Quilt Club celebrating Oregon Trail history.

When you come to the Frontier Heritage Fair, you can see our ongoing demonstration of hand quilting, along with all the other fun historical activities that celebrate Oregon's  pioneer heritage and ancestors.  You'll get a glimpse of how different life was in the 1800s. 

Join us February 15th (9 am to 5 pm) and 16th (9 am to 4 pm) at the Lane County Fairgrounds Events Center and enjoy the history demonstrations.

 and in May . . . 

PIONEER QUILTERS CELEBRATES FIFTY YEARS OF HAND QUILTING TOGETHER!

In 1975, a few local women decided to form a group to hand quilt each other's quilts.  Pioneer Quilters will be celebrating our 50 years of continuing love of the art on May 2nd and 3rd at the First Congregational Church on 23rd Avenue in Eugene.  The friendships formed while stitching on quilts around a frame are golden, a much appreciated benefit of quilting together each week.

At our two-day celebration, you'll see some beautiful quilts created and quilted by those founders, as well as some eye candy from current members of our group.  Enjoy the speakers and take the opportunity to purchase some handmade items, all made by our talented members, at our popular Pioneer Quilters' Boutique.

Stay tuned for more details!
