Members of the Cameron County Quilters, (left to right) Linda Ostrum, Karen Jiang and Ginny Schager were guest speakers at the Rotary luncheon meeting September 4th.
Karen gave a history of the group who started in 1991 as an informal get together for a group of women, and then grew to 14 members. They meet twice a month at the library where they bring a project to work on. Important to the quilters is giving back to the community and over the years they have donated quilts to many organizations for fundraisers. Ginny gave a history of quilting and displayed some of the quilters beautiful quilts and table runners. Linda had on display an old quilt she acquired from a family member with many community members names stitched on it which she has donated to the Methodist Church.
