Meeting the 2nd Wednesday of the month from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.

Hi, I'm Barb Gengler, owner of Candy Store Quilting and a member of Quilt Company East quilting guild. I have volunteered to be this year’s coordinator for Community Quilts.

I am inviting QCE members to my studio on the second Wednesday of each month to work together on quilts for Reading Ready (flyer below).

Candy Store Quilting is located in The Factory building near the intersection of Penn and Braddock Avenues in the east end of Pittsburgh. The address is 7501 Penn Ave. It is in the same building as Gymkanna, the Food-Co-op, PIVOT Physical Therapy and Dr. Block (Dentist).

Only one door, however, leads to my studio space on the 2nd floor (no elevator), and it's from a parking lot off Penn Ave. If you end up in another lot for the building, you need to walk around to the backside of PIVOT and enter via that lot.

If someone isn't attending the door, you'll need to call/text to be admitted. I am working on getting a doorbell that may be ready for the first meeting.

I want the monthly gatherings to be casual events where you can drop in, with little prep, and use my machines and equipment as we create projects together. Come and go as works for your schedule during the 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. time slot, and leave the group projects behind for the next person to continue.

As you know, many tasks surround creating quits. You might sew, iron, cut, pin, layout, organize, longarm, bind or just cheer on your fellow quilters as we complete quilts for Reading Ready.
