Arts and Crafts
Fit to Knit - Every Wednesday at 2pm. This class is free and open to all community
adults.
Quilting - Have you ever admired an heirloom quilt, or a quilt on display on someone's wall? Are you
interested in learning the craft? Would you like to create a beautiful quilt, to have or give as a gift? Every Monday at 9:30am,
expert quilter Joan Fellini will help you begin. Stop in, plan out your quilt and then let it fall into place. A recent beginner
quilter Helen Reinhard states, "I never quilted before, so at 80, I wanted to do something new and personally satisfying
and I found that at the Center under the instruction of Joan. I am now working on my third quilt; an Irish Chain pattern".
Woodcarving - Thursdays at 9:00am, experienced and detailed carver Lou Fellini is available to show you how
to begin. The group of both men and women exchange ideas and thoughts (not only about carving). Instruction is free and if
you start now, you will have a carving done before the holidays! Call the COA to let us know you are planning to attend, so
your block of wood is waiting.
