French Club

Mondays at 10:30AM

To become more fluent in French, you need to practice and the French club is the place to do so among other persons interested in French culture and history.

The club welcomes people who have had exposure to French and want to rekindle or polish their reading, writing and especially their conversation skills. We are a happy and friendly group and always enjoy meeting and including other French enthusiasts.

Quilting Club

The group of ~ 20 women quilters come together promoting fellowship as they work. Many of the quilters work on their own projects. But several of the quilters, by utilizing their passions and talents, continue to help those in our communities that really need it. The crafted items provided comfort and warmth to strangers in need.

Every few months, a new Sew 4 Good project is launched. The club relies on donations of fabric. The remaining quilting supplies (thread, batting and fiber fill stuffing) are donated by the senior Center. The group is currently working on laptop quilts for the nursing homes.

Creating these items is self-rewarding and has provided the members a warm and comforting creation of beauty that expresses their heartfelt feelings of compassion for people who are going through trying times.

The following items were made by the club and donated to charity:

• Laptop wheel chair quilts for veterans in hospice at Hospice of the Chesapeake, Severna Park MD.
• Laptop wheel chair quilts for local nursing homes.
• Mastectomy pillows designed to bring comfort to breast cancer patients at University of Maryland Baltimore Washington Medical Center.
• Baby receiving blankets for University of Maryland Baltimore Washington Medical Center, Storks Nest store. Participants earn points by attending Stork's Nest educational classes, going to their prenatal care appointments, and adopting healthy behaviors. These points are then be used to shop at the Stork's Nest store, where women can "purchase" a variety of infant care items including the receiving blankets.
• Homemade placemats to the local Meals on Wheels program bringing cheer and smiles on every senior’s face who receives one.

O'Malley Quilting Club meets on Fridays from 1:00pm-4:00pm; experience quilting is required.
