WELCOME TO ALPINE QUILTERS

We meet at 7:00 pm on the third Monday of each month, January through November, at

Rockland Community Church
17 S. Mt. Vernon Country Club Rd.
(I-70 to Exit 254, turn north)
Golden, Colorado 80401

Our meetings feature a different, fascinating speaker or special event each month. We often work together to make quilts for charities such as People's Quilts, Project Linus, Bridgeway, and Family Tree. Our members are friendly and our meetings are fun, so please visit us soon!
