We welcome visitors and new members to the Landrum Quilters.
Join us on the second Thursday of each month at 9:30 a. m.  The agenda includes a business meeting, show and tell, an educational program and refreshments. 
The historic Gowensville Community Center serves as our meeting place. It is located near the intersection of highways 11 and 14.  Its official address is 14186 Highway 11, Campobello, SC  29322.
The location is a convenient drive from Landrum, Greenville, Spartanburg, Gaffney, Hendersonville and places in between.
On the fourth Monday at 9 a. m., we also gather for a bee at the center.  You can bring a project to work on, spend time looking at books from our extensive library or share ideas with friends.
Dues are $15 per year.  Our year starts in January.
This group, organized in 1979, has grown to more than 130 members who share the common love of creativity through quilting and fabric arts.  Our monthly programs, periodic workshops and philanthropic projects offer members a variety of educational experiences and opportunities to form lasting friendships.
