April 2017 - Sherri Moening

Sherri Moening from Brooten shared her beautiful quilting with us in April.

The Quilt Cult visited in March 2017

The Quilt Cult is a small group of gals who took a one-and-a-half day class at a quilt shop in Willmar many years ago.  They thought they'd be going home from the class with quilts but all they had to show for the day were 15,000 pieces they had cut!  Since then they've met regularly to sew, exchange blocks, and share the fun of quilting.  "We have a fantasy that we're getting rid of stash," one member said, making the entire room laugh.  Their name came from someone's son, who when he heard about the women meeting to sew, said, "what is it, some kind of cult?"  Whatever it is, the quilts they shared with us are gorgeous, and here are just a few.
