Quilters from across the country are, almost quite literally, on pins and needles at The Nautical Beachfront Resort and Convention Center. The second annual Quilting at the Lake, Quilters Gone Wild, hosted by the Havasu Stitchers Quilt Guild, is under way, featuring three days of sewing projects, classes, instruction, demonstrations and product displays. The event, spread over four rooms at The Nautical’s convention center, began Thursday with classes on needle felting, English paper piecing, creating quilts and more. Quilting at the Lake continues all day today and Saturday, starting at 9 a.m.
