Come quilt with us!

Lake Norman Quilters meets the fourth Tuesday of each month at 7 p.m. at Centre Presbyterian Church in Mooresville, near I-77 Exit 33. (Meeting dates are sometimes changed in November and December due to holidays.)

Meetings feature educational programs and opportunities for members to show their work and enjoy time with each other. Refreshments are served at 6:30 p.m. The business portion of the meeting starts at 7 p.m., and the program follows.
