The end of our 2013 quilt year is here. I believe we had a very good year with tons of fun, learned lots and made many beautiful quilts for charity. With that said, we ended the year with a great luncheon … even if the place that was reserved for us to attend, overbooked the room. I think we did very good job on recovering and had a fun time anyways at our faithful room at the Syracuse Community Center. Belinda did a great job decorating and Yvonne was awesome on getting food together for us all. And it was a great test of my old military skills on notifying everyone of the change of place. We ALL came together and had a GREAT time!!!
Lastly … I have enjoyed maintaining the blog this year. I think many people have an enjoyed it. I am so happy for that. But it is time I turn over the reins to Becky, and I think she is going to have as much fun with it as I did. As for the future … I will try my best to be good president but that will be easy because I have such superior members. : )
Enjoy the pictures of our Christmas luncheon and see you in January!!!

Ok I apology right now if I have the name wrong,
but I love this sweet, happy women and I am so bad

She told us a one of the VERY fascinating stories in the book. The title of the book is, "The Civil War Diary Quilt". |
