15 ladies attended today. Marguerite was the star of the show today. She brought in her 2 finished 4-patch posie circus quilts and a large scrap quilt top all ready to be quilted. She has been very busy lately. Her husband hates to see the quilt frame go up so I always make sure to give him a hard time about it. Linda O'C came in and she and I had a long talk about Village Quilter stuff plus she was very eager to show Kathy O. the hidden nine-patch she had made. Kathy O. has now moved on to something else: a big girl quilt for her granddaughter. She's made the middle but now needs to make some large borders around it. Winnie is frantically trying to finish all of her projects for the church bazaar this weekend. Pat was tying another prayer quilt. Betty and Cathy Y. were holding up the quilting end of the group. Hattie was back after a long illness but is not able to get back to her knitting yet. We were certainly glad to see her again. The group ended today on an interesting note. Betty, our 99 year old Betty, was giving lessons on how to tie your shoe. Apparently she's got some trick the others didn't know about. I'll have to go investigate that next week.
