18 ladies attended today. Two of our ladies I was very glad to see, Katherine Denegar came back for a visit and Anne Bave, who has been out with health problems also returned. It is so good to see them again. Katherine came loaded with gifts--lots of patterns, books and magazines. Thanks for the freebies Katherine! I brought in 2 prayer quilts to make into quilt sandwiches. I am taking one home to quilt and Darryl the other. It will be good to have 2 more prayer quilts ready to give away. Lew Schedlbauer came by with some more scrap batting. His scraps come in very handy for small projects. Jeanne Knouse came in today with her ugly fabric challenge quilt which she was just finishing. Unfortunately the challenge has come and gone so she couldn't win a prize but what she has done with her piece of the ugly fabric is gorgeous! She's made a simple rail fence block with bright colors and a fantastic fabric for the border and the backing. It's truly beautiful! Linda O'Connor also stopped by with her granddaughter who was learning to sew on plastic canvas. My guess is she'll end up being as talented a needleworker as her grandmother.
