Attention:  Website Issues

Due to a major update to our website “theme,” several major problems have occurred.  One is the calendar issue where it adds 7 hours to our events thus adding a day in our calendar.  The other major issue is the missing links to the Community Outreach pages.  We are working with the developer and our website administrator to correct problems as soon as possible.  If you find anything else, please let us know at website@boisebasinquilters.org.  Sorry for the inconvenience and thank you for your patience.
