One of the things that we have to look forward to each year is the annual luncheon put on by the Lake Anna Piecemakers. This vibrant group of quilters has been meeting for a number of years and at one point decided that it would be a good idea to have a luncheon where quilts and crafts could be displayed and a guest would speak on a topic of interest to the group. It was such a success that it has carried over year after year.
The Piecemakers have been meeting at the LARI (Lake Anna Rescue) Building for years and another purpose of the luncheon is to raise money for the Rescue Squad. As a group, the Piecemakers are very indebted to LARI for the use of the meeting room. As residents at or near Lake Anna they are indebted to LARI for the wonderful service numerous volunteers have provided area folks for many years.
If you are looking for a pleasant way to spend a few hours consider attending this year's luncheon. You will be impressed by the array of gorgeous quilts and other items on display AND best of all you'll enjoy delicious food and fun company.

Hi Kate, There is nothing more beautiful than a hand made quilt.
It sounds like a wonderful group Kate. EVERYONE loves a quilt. I like the invited speaker idea as well along with the just great socializing that takes place.
Kate The fact the Lake Anna Piecemakers are meeting at and supporting the Lake Anna Rescue Squad should make the event a success again
I look forward to the quilt show at our Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo every year ...and am always amazed .. these award winning quilts are breathtaking artwork. I've never quilted, but I'm thinking about it. I have a half-finished quilt that my (81 yr old) mom worked on with her great aunt when she was a child -- and it was never finished. I like the idea of several generations of stitching being on the same quilt and that ..... it would finally be its time to be completed ... and I'm also terrified at screwing it up! (OK Did I say that out loud?)
Hi Judith...The wonderful thing about a guild, and I'm sure there's one in your area, is that you will find members more than willing to help you learn to quilt. You may want to start out with some smaller projects first and then when you've gained confidence, and you will, you can finish the qult your mother and your great aunt worked on. I love the idea of several generations contributing to an item.
