We Love Quilting!
Indiana Bag Ladies is a group of quilters of all skill levels. We are Bag Ladies because we carry our sewing supplies in big bags.

We usually meet in the Sellersburg Public library, and sometimes in Charlestown Public Library.

On the 2nd and 3rd Thursdays of each month we meet in evening 6:30 pm - 9 pm in Sellersburg Library.
On second Saturdays of even month we meet in Charlestown library for a workshop.
During our meetings we share quilting news, exchange ideas, have classes and presentations by members, sew, quilt, baste on big library tables, tie charity quilts, chat, and always have a great time.

Come join us!

Bring the quilt you are working on or heirloom treasure that you plan to repair, or just come to see what quilting is all about.

We use Yahoo Groups service for managing our mailing list. Join at http://groups.yahoo.com/group/indianabagladies/ to get messages and participate in discussions (you have to be a yahoo member). Use menues on the left to read archives.
