The Creative Club is a unique group of crafters consisting of the Sew Be It Quilt Group, the Yarn Group, and Craft Classes. In addition to the Yarn and Quilt groups, we offer monthly craft classes to explore your creative side. This past year, we had guest instructors teach specific watercolor painting techniques or the art of stained glass. We enjoy learning from crafty residents who volunteer to lead classes on soap floral arrangements, jewelry making, painted rocks, ornaments, tie dye t-shirts, etc. Our membership is free and once you have enrolled in a class or participated in the Yarn or Quilt group, you become a member. As a member, you get early access to classes and upcoming events. Join us on October 9th from 5-8 pm for our quarterly meeting in the Community Hall. We will have a "Painting Free For All." This is a free event, BYOB. Sign up on the Portal.
The Sew Be It Quilters group does various activities throughout the year. This can include field trips, shopping, show and tells, holiday get togethers, hosting guest instructors and group projects to benefit the community. We have quilts hanging at the WellSpan V-Twin Cancer center and we have done the annual Veterans benefit quilt. Our group runs the gambit from “highly experienced” to “I took sewing in Home-Ec xxx years ago”. We are resources for each other and like many of our ancestors we enjoy the camaraderie of this interest group of ‘quilters and stitchers’. We hope you won’t be shy and that you will join us while you are on your own quilting adventure. Our next meeting is Friday, Sept 13th at 5pm in the Canvas Studio. The Sept 13th meeting will be our first meeting after our summer break, and we will do a show and tell and Appetizer/Dessert Potluck.
The Yarn group enjoys learning and creating with the fiber arts (crocheting, knitting, spinning, needlework, etc.). We meet monthly learning a new crochet stitch, sharing each other’s projects or making items to donate to a worthy cause. We also have been known to go on field trips to art fiber venues. We meet the third Thursday of each month at 1 pm. Come join us for a relaxing afternoon!
