Dear Friends,
We were invited (last minute) to participate in the Fishers Farmers Market “Club Day” on September 21st. With lots of member help (and the loan of a canopy from Allyn Baker), we set up a table with quilts, tables, and chairs from the storeroom (thanks, Diane Dimpfl!). Melissa Schulman brought a wagon to help set up and teardown – and lug the bags of salt needed to “tether” the canopy. It was fun to hang out with Teresa Barnes, Judy MacDonald, Helene Jognleux, Maroline Ritter, Ann Ricciardelli, Kim Williams, Maureen Hancock, and Joan Hiner, and of course, Melissa and Diane! We heard lots of stories about grandma’s quilts and hopefully will have some new attendees at our meetings and the quilt show.
Speaking of the quilt show – have you signed up to help? I need to get my name on the list at our meeting on the 14th.
On the 14th, we will have a special guest – Magdaline, the Lutheran Church Comfort Dog, who will be there at the start of our meeting as we will be presenting Naomi’s quilt to her sponsors. Naomi was the first comfort dog for the church in Indianapolis and passed away unexpectedly from a rare cancer. Many of you participated in making blocks for the quilt at the September retreat. Many thanks to Carlene Clark for quilting it.
Reminders:
- Please come a few minutes early so that you can be in your seat right at 9:30 when the fun begins.
- If you are able, please park in the side parking lot at the church
- Wear your name tag and bring a $1 donation and/or donation item for Cornerstone Lutheran
Happy Fall!
Mary
