Meadowlark Quilt Club hosts Holiday Craft Fair in Lombard

The Meadowlark Quilt Club is hosting a craft fair on two days in November.

Handmade merchandise will be available for purchase from 9:30 a.m. until noon Friday, Nov. 17, and 5 to 8 p.m. Thursday, Nov. 30, at the Sunset Knoll Recreation Center, 820 S. Finley Road in Lombard.

There will be quilts for kids and adults, baby bibs, microwave bowls, phone holders, and many other items available for purchase. These fabric products have been made by the quilting club that meets every Friday morning during the year.

The Meadowlark Quilt Club constructs quilts and other items to donate to various groups in Lombard and the greater DuPage area.

Each year more than 1,000 quilts are provided to the various charities supported by the group. Most of the fabric is donated by people in the community. This is a self-sustaining program in the park district.

Additional funds are required to purchase various supplies and to provide timely repairs and maintenance for sewing machines.

Proceeds of the sale will enable the club to purchase additional materials.
