The Chota Center Quilt Room is a wonderful resource. It is an ideal classroom and work space, a great place to lay out your fabric or arrange your blocks on the large flannel board and it is home to our great quilt library. Please know that we share the room with the Art Guild of Tellico Village and other groups.
Although we share the room with others, it is open for Village Quilters’ use on many days each month. You can always check the current calendars on the website.Please do not wear perfume or cologne when attending classes, workshops, or meetings as a courtesy to those with allergies or sensitivities. Thank You!
SCHEDULING THE QUILT ROOM
“SIT AND SEW” IN THE QUILT ROOM
The quilt room is a great place to lay out your fabric or arrange your blocks on the large flannel board. You can use the quilt room for your personal projects at times listed at “Sit and Sew” on the Guild Calendar. Also after morning workshops, classes and sweatshops the room is available for Sit and Sew. Sometimes when a bee is using the room, they will allow members to work in the room alongside the bee. Please call the bee contact to see if that will work.
