Sept 2103

Since I was up all night making sure the basement wasn't filling with water I am in kind of a coma but here are the basics from the meeting today.

 

We will have 2 meetings in Oct. The regular one at Lori's on the 19th and the special beading, embellishment meeting at Judy's on the 26th. More details to follow but the theme of lunch at Judy's will be Halloween so drag out your cauldrons and start to brew. Bats take a good long time to marinade properly.

 

Our next challenge is the Mary Ellen Hopkins memorial quilt challenge.

Rules:

        Make a piece using a MEH pattern or technique.

        This must be something you always wanted to make but haven't as yet.

         The piece has to be bigger than one of her books.

          ( I think Ruth wanted a size)

         Muckled fabric must be incorporated. (Ruth groaned at this)

         You may ignore one rule.

Ruth wanted a deadline, I suggested April, Gwen groaned this time. Maybe it was the lunch speaking. So we decided that we would talk about a deadline the meeting after the jelly roll race. Ruth wanted me to take notes but my memory is pretty good. Some of the things I recall even have some basis in fact.

   The meeting adjourned and then Lori remembered she had a birthday cake for Jan. We lit the candles, sang and Lori covered up the cake for Jan to take home.. we had fantastic desserts at Lunch. The cake was lovely in spite of a near miss with a certain Mr Brady's backpack.

  I will certainly get back to every one with more stories after a nap.

  Dianne and Laura, we missed you. Syd,you too.
