Challenge Quilts
At the show in 2023, folks picked up a Challenge Quilt packet with a 1/2 yard of fabric in it. They've made amazing quilts including the 1/2 yard, and after they're shown, they'll be donated to Green and Rock County Foster Care agencies and Project 16:49. Visit us just to see these quilts! There are over 70!
2024 Mystery Quilts
Each year our shop has a Mystery Quilt Club from January to May. All of the completed Mystery Quilts will be shown together for a great display.
Quilter's Questions Panel 10:00am - on the Patio

Challenge Quilt Blessing and Photos 12:00pm Purdy Park
We will have a blessing of the Challenge Quilts before they are on their way to new homes at 12:00pm. We would love for all Challenge Quilters to be present for a photo with the quilts.
2025 Challenge Quilts!
Challenge Quilt packets will be available to pick up at the shop anytime during the quilt show. Fabric will be included to get the design process started. We have a fabulous group of long arm quilters that have done the quilting for no charge and have offered to do the same in 2025. You'll bring your completed top back to us and we'll get it finished! Then we'll donate it in your name to local Assisted Living Homes in our community.
A Quilt Trunk show 12:45pm - The Patio
We've chosen a local quilter to show quilts that she has made at 12:45 on The Patio. So many beautiful quilts to see!
Vendors too!
We have two vendors that are special to us that will be on The Patio next to the shop.
Ron and Julie Wanless of Sugar River Quilting will be here with their beautiful quilt furniture and wooden quilt blocks. Check them out on Facebook at Sugar River Quilting.
And our friends Jeanne and Karen will be here selling finished quilts! They use theme and color to make fabulous quilts and bags for you or to give as gifts. Be sure to visit them all!
Quilt Raffle Tickets for sale on The Patio
Our friends from Orfordville Lutheran Church have made a wonderful quilt and will have raffle tickets for sale to win it! The folks at OLC use the quilt raffle as a fundraiser. This is the generous congregation that allows the Chicks to use their facility for our classes. They are so good to us. Be sure and buy some tickets! Let's show them our support!
2024 Mystery Quilt and Class Information
We'll have our Mystery Quilt, Class and Club Schedule available on show day as well. The information will also be posted to this website soon.

Meeting on the last Saturday of each month in 2024 at 10:00am, Orfordville Lutheran Church.
Vintage and Antique quilts are so admired and collected. This club will re-make our own versions of them. Currently we're working on a Drunkard's Path quilt! A challenge for most of us! The history of the block and the quilt will be shared on each quilt selected. This will be a "Sew Day" format, as we each work on our own quilt in our own time.
There will be no fee for this club.

Binding

5 Yard Quilts
Quilters either love binding a quilt, or don't love binding a quilt. If you don't love it, we can do it for you! We'll add a machine sewn or hand sewn binding, which ever you prefer.

We've made all of the quilts in the series, and they are displayed throughout our shop. Each pattern is written simply and easy to follow, and sews up quickly. A generous throw size when finished, they are perfect for gifts!
