Idaho PieceMakerS

Welcome to the Idaho PieceMakerS web site!

We are an active quilting group of all ages and skill levels--both men and women! On this website, we will keep our members informed, introduce our organization, and highlight areas of interest for all of us.

While browsing through our web site, please be sure to scroll down the pages. We have tried to present extensive information on each page.

Idaho PieceMakerS meets in Kuna on the 4th Wednesday of every month (no meeting in December). We meet at 7 pm in the Kuna United Methodist Church at the corner of 4th and Franklin in Kuna. Parking is at the rear.

Over 75% of our membership live in Boise, Meridian, Garden City, Eagle, Melba, Nampa, and Caldwell. All skill levels, both men and women, and all ages are represented and welcomed.

We are a group that shares a common interest in fabric and quilting. Our meetings include Show and Tell, Info-mercials, Question and Answer, and Demonstrations. We are a resource group for one another to keep motivated, inspired and share information and skills.

The Idaho PieceMakerS produce an annual quilt show in Kuna during Kuna Days, the first week-end in August. The majority of the proceeds from the show are donated to a worthwhile cause voted on by the group.

There are no membership dues. Idaho Piecemakers is not a guild; we come together informally. To contribute to the community, we bring canned goods to each meeting to donate to the Kuna Food Bank.

Below: This was the quilt that was voted 'Best Of Show' at our August 2007 Idaho PieceMakerS Quilt Show. Mike A. was unaware that she had won until she came to pick up her quilt after the show. To make a double surprise, she received the sewing machine, the Baby Lock Quilter's Choice, donated by Idaho Sewing & Vacuum Center. Needless to say, she was delighted!

Below: A few samples of this years challenge blocks. Be sure to turn yours in! During the Idaho PieceMakerS Quilt Show, the public votes for their 3 favorite blocks on Saturday morning (until 3pm), then the winners are announced! Every one of the blocks are unique.
