Thursday Night Strippers Quilt Guild

Weaverville, California

Autumn in the Alps Quilt Show - October 14, 2006

Welcome! The Thursday Night Strippers (TNS) were formed in 2001 to provide a forum for quilt lovers with day jobs to meet in the evening. We enjoy fellowship, recreation and instruction while enhancing the well-being of our community through charitable works.

Meetings are held each Thursday night at 6:00 PM at the Golden Age Center, 800 Browns Ranch Road #21 in Weaverville, California. Come by and visit, we hope you will join us.

Membership in the TNS is open to anyone who loves the textile arts and helping others with their time and talents. Dues are $10 per year for adults, Junior Memberships (under 18) are free of charge.

Quilt Show The Thursday Night Strippers organize the Autumn in the Alps Quilt Show, one of the largest outdoor quilt shows in Northern California. Each year in October we host this show to feature the quilters art and bring visitors to our lovely town. This show, currently in its 4th year, is growing and each year provides additional activities and attractions. Join us and help the Quilt Show grow-visit the Quilt Show Website for more information.

Activities TNS creates a raffle quilt each year, proceeds from the quilt raffle are used to support a variety of charitable causes within Trinity County. Last year's quilt provided needed funds for three groups: LAPP (Lowden Aquatic Park Project), Relay for Life (American Cancer Society) and Threads of History Project (textile conservation at our local Museum). This year's quilt (pictured above) may be seen at local events and will be featured at the Quilt Show--your ticket purchase helps support our community!

Comfort quilts are created and distributed to families within our community who are facing challenges--quilts provide material evidence of our caring and provide warmth & comfort to the recipients.

Educational opportunities are provided by sharing our skills and knowledge with each other and occasional presentations and workshops by visiting quilters.

Fun is a big part of our group! Some meetings are devoted to games and birthdays are a great chance to enjoy goodies and good company. Other activities, such as fabric shopping trips and carpooling to quilt shows are scheduled as needed.
