About Us & Where to Find Us!

The Mid-Western Branch is one of 8 branches of the Irish Patchwork Society (IPS).  We are a group of Patchworkers and Quilters who love to share our projects and meet on the second Friday of every month from September to June with the exception of December when our branch meeting may be held on the first Friday of the month.
