A different sort of Diva meeting

The day shone bright and after the weather that hit the area during Friday night/Sat early morning that was amazing. Judy and Jan were at the Willoughby Art Fair. Lynn, was in Cape Cod. I was in a daze after no sleep due to a flooding basement. Lori was working on her own birthday cake to take to a belated celebration in Pittsburgh tomorrow as well as a fantastic Star Wars sleeping bag for Brady to take on the trip. Fran had destroyed her back hauling sewing machines in for repair. Maryann, Sue and Ruth seemed pretty good.
There was quilt layering going on. Lori started a piece using stuff from Dianne's pieces parts. Between useless comments from the peanut gallery a nice piece was started. I  believe this will be another charity quilt. It is fascinating to watch the creative process and the problem solving. We should rent ourselves out.
In honor of the passing of one of our great mentors, Mary Ellen Hopkins we looked thorough her books and had lot of laughs about the workshops we had attended. Lori had her MEH t shirt on and we compared dates of our signed books. And there was some Chardonnay at lunch.
Lunch was fantastic. A perfect balance of dishes.
No real thought on what to do in Sept when we meet again but most of us see each other at other gatherings.
Give it some thought, Divas. And keep your powder dry.
Lori and Ruth took pictures that I expect will be posted at some point.
