A QUILTER IS:Submitted by Carol O’Rear
Someone who is bored silly hearing about other people'sdumb hobbies, such as sky-diving, motorcycling, or stampcollecting, but constantly fascinates everyone she comes
contact with by sharing her quilt and quilting experiences
Someone who cannot see cobwebs hanging from the ceilindustballs under the bed, or a sinkful of dirty dishes, but
can thread a size 10 needle in the dark.
Someone who sees life through the eye of a needle, and
that is a very special thing.
Someone who assiduously clips coupons and hunts for bar
gains at the super market, but buys untold yards of fabr
regardless of price.
Someone who enjoys sewing a quilt, but hides her mendin
until the garments are either outgrown or out of style.

y, Roberta Lee, Betty Schwanke, Martha Williams, Mary
ou Winter, Nancy Keathly, Marlene Williams, Patti How-

nization and came home with a fist full of cash. Please
remember that your tickets need to be turned in by the
ec. meeting. We will be drawing for the quilt at that time.Tickets for our "in house" quilt will be for sale at the
ov. meeting. We will draw for this quilt at our Jan. Re-
eat meeting.
Wedding GiftsSubmitted by Betty Schwanke
Our gifts were many: silver and gold,
A lamp, some bowls for soup.My mother’s gift was the simplest one,A quilt from her ladies’ group.
They met each week with their scraps and thread,
Their lunches, their jokes and dreams,And they stitched their love with the strong white lines,And their hopes in the neat side seams.
I look at the quilt, and I see Mom still,
Graying and shabby and thinBut a youthful spirit, a ready wit,And a strong heart glowed within.
She is long gone now, and yet at night(I know, you’ll say it’s wild),I use that quilt, and I feel...tucked in,
As when I was once a child.

WonderArc Workshop
Thirteen members attended the WonderArc workshop
with Mary Ellen Johnson. One side of the classroomconstructed their lessons with fabric and thread. The
other side of the classroom constructed their lessons
with paper and glue. Mary Ellen was kept busy with
keeping the two techniques on the right track. Thank you to all those that attended.
