It's definitely not Grandma's quilting bee, but a Leaf River woman is continuing the time-honored tradition in a very up-to-date way.

After years of sewing and quilting, Karen Borneman opened her own shop Jan. 13 in a brand new spacious building a few feet from her back door.

The Leaf River Quilt Company, 6679 W. Ill. 72, offers the latest fabrics, patterns, and techniques for turning out what may become an heirloom quilt.

Borneman offers classes in quilting and other sewing projects, such as purses, fabric baskets, and some clothing items.

Borneman said she decided to open her own shop because she loves quilting and has seen interest in it growing in recent years.....
