Watch a video about Coffee Creek Quilters


Coffee Creek Quilters is featured in this video produced by TheQuiltShow.com, a web-based “TV show” from Alex Anderson and Ricky Tims. It was filmed last August at Coffee Creek Correctional Facility by a TQS film crew and includes interviews with CCQ past president Mary Ann McCammon and several of our students in the Tuesday morning class. It was produced to run as part of TQS episode #1205 which features landscape quilter Sue Rasmussen.

We thank TheQuiltShow.com for their generosity in creating this video about our program and granting permission for us to include it on our website.
