With something like 100 quilts on display, and another 50 small quilts up for auction, you can get a good idea of what this group does. The annual fundraising event is free to attend and has moved from the old Conoco Phillips building to a new location, First United Methodist Church at 725 W 9th Avenue. Parking is also free.Today’s program was prerecorded for scheduling reasons so we won’t be taking your calls. Join us to meet quilters and find out why this craft and art became their passion.GUESTS:Peggy Brewer, current president of the ALCQPat Sims, charter member of the ALCQ, started in 1979Lynne Seitz, Comfort Quilts program coordinator for ALCQ
