The Capital Quilters Club has about 90 active members.

Although the club started 27 years ago, one member has been threading needles a lot longer.

Reporter Jessica Bauman has more....

She's the oldest active member of the Capital Quilters Club. "I'm eighty-eight and a half." Agnes Will helped form the club in 1981 and was the second active president

"I enjoy the friendships I have made among the members." She learned to sew when she was quite young, around 8 or 9 she says

"My mother had gotten some material. In those years we didn't have fabric stores. We had to order fabric from the catalogs like Montgomery Ward or Sears Roebuck." The material her mother got her was for pajama pants

"That's the first thing I can remember sewing because she said those seems are going to be on the inside and if you don't get them absolutely straight, nobody's going to see it. But she said sew as straight as you can sew. And that was my beginning in sewing. I have sewed and embroidered since." From pajama pants to quilts, Agnes hasn't kept count of all her projects. And even at the young age of 88 and a half, she still continues to share her quilts

"Provide everyone with one when they come to such highlights in their life as a high school graduation, and weddings when possible, and babies of course." Agnes's favorite thing about quilting is experimenting with colors and using a variety of fabrics

"Show and tell. And that's always the fun part, when we see what people have finished, what they have been working on. And what they have doing and accomplishing." At this years quilting show, Agnes has three quilts on display
