The quilting/sewing group is officially known as the Hesperia Hall Home Bureau and meets at the Hall on the first and third Wednesday of each month from 12 to 2 PM. All skill levels are encouraged to attend, from beginning to advanced. Numerous quilting and sewing techniques are covered by the group throughout the year. The group makes a queen sized quilt each year for a raffle to raise funds for the Hall scholarship program. Construction generally begins in January and is completed prior to the Chicken Barbecue in April. Tickets are sold until the Country Faire in October, when the winning ticket is plucked from the drum. If you have any questions about the group, call Kate Snell at 805-472-2070 or email hesperiasews@hotmail.com. |
