Boardman group invites all quilters
Boardman Quilt Group
invites interested quilters
to join them on Monday
mornings, 9 a.m. to 1:30
p.m., for quilt construction,
quilting updates, educa-
tion, a bit of history and
friendship. Boardman Quilt
Group meets at Boardman
Senior Center, 100 Tatone
Street, next to Boardman
City Hall.
There is no fee to par-
ticipate. In addition to proj-
ects of individual choice,
there are occasional pre-
sentations by regional quilt
artists.
Quilt group members
are currently learning sto-
ries and histories of quilt
block designs that were
popular at the time of Or-
egon Trail migrations. The
Oregon Trail River Route
passed along the Colum-
bia River and the site of
present-day Boardman.
The second Oregon Trail
inland route passed through
Wells Springs, 17 miles
south of Boardman. The
proximity of both historic
routes prompted Boardman
quilters to learn more about
life on the trail.
On May 15, the group
will travel to Stanfield for a
lesson on “How to make a
Hexagon block with no ‘Y’
seams.”
For regular meetings,
quilters are asked to bring Marsha Connell with her Autumn Adventure scrappy quilt.
