Sit & Sew

Southminster: The Charlotte Quilters’ Guild’s monthly Sit & Sew is held on the 3rd Saturday of every month from 10:00 AM to 3:00 PM at Southminster retirement community on Park Road.  You are welcome to come when you can and leave when you need to. You can bring your lunch and/or snacks, or there is a café downstairs that has both Grab and Go and a menu available.

Sit & Sew is an unstructured opportunity to work on your own project in the company of other Guild members. Be sure to bring all of the supplies you need (sewing machine, cutting mat, thread etc) Southminster will supply the tables and we will supply the power cords, ironing boards and irons to share.

This is a great time for everyone to get to know each other, share ideas, learn new techniques, ask questions, and just have fun.

Southminster is located at 8919 Park Road Charlotte NC 28210.

Park in front of the main building, extra parking is available in the church parking lot if needed. When arriving enter through the front door and check in at the front desk on your left. If you like, you can drop your equipment off at the desk and then go park your car. A cart to move your equipment can be provided by the front desk.

Southminster provides coffee and cookies for Sit & Sew participants, and you can bring lunch and snacks if you choose to do so. There is a Grab and Go and a menu available in the building.
