Piecemakers stitch community together
The Bigfork Piecemaker’s Annual Quilt Show will take place Friday, June 21 from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m and Saturday, June 22 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. at Bigfork Elementary School.
The guild’s 40-some quilters range in age from their 20s to their 90s, but are all able to come together for their craft and their community.
“Quilting just really brings people together, and it creates tradition, and it definitely is a symbol of comfort,” said Piecemakers president Amber Lawrence. “I think there’s just a community that naturally builds from that. I think by promoting that and teaching the next generation, it’s just one of those things in our society that can create beautiful memories and heirlooms for families.”
