The Heritage Quilt Guild (HQG) of Jonesboro held its regular monthly meeting on Wednesday, July 1st, in the Fellowship Hall of the Jonesboro-Hodge Methodist Church. Highlighting the always entertaining and informative session was the HQG presenting US Armed Services Veteran Rick Barlow with a special Veterans Quilt stitched by guild members.

Members in attendance also enjoyed a very inspiring program by Angela Yarbrough, founder of Amadea, who shared the organization’s meaningful mission and her personal story. The meeting concluded with members demonstrating their handiwork during “Show and Tell” time.

Heritage Quilt Guild of Jonesboro meets at 9:00 am on the first Wednesday of every month and has a sit-and-sew session at 9:30 am on the third Wednesday of the month. Their purpose is to provide a means for quilters and guild lovers to promote the appreciation and preservation of quilts and to share their skills so the art will be handed down to future generations.
