April 2018 at Marty's


We were few but we were mighty and managed to fill the time talking without realizing how late it was getting.  Marty hosted Barbara, Deanna, and Betsy.  A light rain fell as we arrived and heavier when we left but that didn't dampen our spirits.  And we did a decent job of pigging out on dessert!

Next meeting at Bobbie's new digs.  Bobbie will have to give us directions on how to get to her.

Marty showed us the progress she had made on her tree frog, her chosen subject for Nancy Brown's applique class.  She showed us fabric she will use to add leaves, stems and flowers to the background.  Looks spectacular.


Deanna showed us two blocks she had made to be part of Orna's quilt as the gift for her completing her year as President of EBHQ.  Two basket blocks in colors of Orna's preference.


And started on one cruise and finished on a second cruise years later, Deanna showed a glasses case that she had needlepointed.  Cute design with a zipper.


Barbara has made progress on the beach quilt for her granddaughter.  She has two more borders to add in the gold fabric.

And Betsy had just finished the binding on a quilt that Sue Fox quilted for her.  It will be a wedding (or one year anniversary) present for the son of a friend.




 And Betsy showed another quilt top finished for a friend who was the librarian in the town where her mother lived.  This will be a present for Stephanie who wanted blues and greens in her quilt.
