A Busy Month

**********
We have all been busy the last two weeks, possibly because we can't do anything else when it rains as much as it has!  We have so much to show.

Iris finished her four-patch quilt.  The border really sets off the colorful blocks.


Meg has been busy making quilts for all the graduating seniors at her church and helping her daughter make them for the seniors in her granddaughter's homeschool class. Below are several of the quilts she made for them to use for studying, picnics, car use, etc.







Estela has returned from her winter in Texas. She finished this lovely wallhanging:


And this Easter-themed bed quilt.  We all love that marbled turquoise fabric!


Cyndi finished this great t-shirt quilt. The recipient has been a busy young man and will enjoy this quilt!


Meg made these two quilts using Jenny Doan's Floating Squares tutorial, but giving it her own spin. They are for upcoming baby showers.



**********

Next month we will be meeting at Meg's to sew.  Here is the lunch schedule (subject to change!)

June 4---Penguin Ed's
June 11--Joe's Italian Grill
June 18--Slim Chickens
June 25--Boar's Head BBQ

Sad Goodbyes

 We met at Kosmos, a Greek fast food restaurant, to say goodbye to our dear friends Susan and Pat, who are moving away. We wore our "Sassy Quilter" t-shirts in their honor.

 One last chance to talk before they closed on the sale of their house, and took to the road.

 We will miss these two dear friends, who have brought us so much fun and laughter over the years.

 As you can see, Pat fitted right in with our group .

 Iris was our photographer; you can see her snapping the photo with her remote in the photo below.

Pat was wishing he had a chair to sit in, but Sheila didn't mind holding him up.

We wish them all the best in their new home, and we know they will make new friends immediately!
