IpmsBlk.jpegWelcome 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.  

Please get in touch to offer comments
 and join our mailing list.

Below:  This was the quilt that was voted 'Overall Favorite' at our August 2008 Idaho PieceMakerS Quilt Show.  Nita S. created this stunning quilt.  She is known for her lovely hand quilting, and this quilt is a classic example of her work.  She received the Baby Lock Quilter's Choice sewing machine, donated by Idaho Sewing & Vacuum Center.  We are sure she will put it to work very soon!

Below:  A few sample blocks using the 2009 challenge fabric.  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.

We have a lot of Show & Tell at the end of our meeting.  It's wonderful to see everyone's creations.
