11 ladies attended today. Kathy O. brought in her sewing machine to demonstrate machine quilting for Deb J., but Deb didn't show up. I hope she's here next week to put up our quilt show! She's the only one brave enough to climb the tall ladder! Pat H. brought in some scrap fabric to give away. Then she sat down to teaching Agnes, with me watching, how to make a hat on a Knifty Knitter. It looked kind of fun. Fran brought in her finished except for the binding appliqued flower quilt. It was truly beautiful. Winnie was doing some fancy crewel work and Marie was doing intarsia knitting (I think that's what she called it). Daryl is adding some embroidery to a Noah's Ark preprinted quilt panel. Pat also brought in all of the Prayers-and-Squares quilt tops she's made lately. She uses only scraps and they are all colorful and cheerful. Everyone was busy except me. I just moved around and watched what everyone was doing. Next week will be a busy one putting up the quilt show. Then our open house will be on Feb. 10th. We will take down the show on Feb. 24th. Then everyone thought we should celebrate by having a potluck lunch on Mar. 3.
