Kind of a roundup

Hi,

We were down a couple of Divas today. Ruth had her dreaded vertigo, Laura busy with taking care of someone. Gwen had to leave before lunch and Jan and I were late enough to worry people.

Everyone seemed industrious. Sue and Fran were working on their "commited
project, Mary Anne was working on something wonderful for Cottonpickers,Diane was binding away and there was a good bit of made fabric going on.

Gwen had the top of the Wildwood raffle quilt done and that will be passed on to Laura to quilt.

 Dianne made a lovely gift bag with the gift cards we got for Lori and Mike. There was also new fabric in it. And a bag of Pez for Brady.  I am pretty certain that am the only one in the group that stinks at presentation. I am always amazed and delighted to see what everyone does.  I am more the one piece of tissue and one piece of tape sort of wrapper.

 Lunch was beautiful. So many strawberries and lovely salads. And wine.

  The Diva's allowed Judy, Jan, Lori and myself to kick around our presentation for Wildwood in August. Divas will bring pieces for our show and tell. The subject is collaborative quilting. We will try to inspire every one to have their own group. It won't be the same as ours but it could still be good.

 We talked about thinking about ideas for challenges in the future but right now we are happy with fabric making and working on our "committed to finish" projects. We could get away with this sort of loose outline because Ruth wasn't there cracking the whip. We love you Ruth!

I will go and see if anyone got pictures on the blog.

Take care.
