Valley Quilters Annual Spring Luncheon - May 6, 2009

What a guy! Vic got me home in time to attend the luncheon that my guild, The Valley Quilters, holds for area quilters each spring. It's always a lovely day and this was no exception. Thanks, Vic!!!
The theme this year was log cabin quilts. A few are on display. The tables were pretty and spring-like. During the winter the Newark Valley gals made log cabin pincushions for the tables so that each attendee would have a souvenir of the day. Pansies completed the table decor.
Other small quilts added color.
Our raffle quilt on display. This was made and donated by member Linda Woodard. Proceeds will go to fund next year's speaker and for fabric to make a raffle quilt for the 2010 event.
Lucy Cross, who is also a member of the Tompkins County Quilters, arranged for the speaker(s). The ladies are members of the Ithaca Doll Club and a talented group they are. Here two of the ladies "show n tell" about a few of the dolls displayed. Don't they have fun? We were told that this gentleman is anatomically correct!!! Oh, my.

Quilters are invited to bring show n tell items. Their talents are showcased as the finale. For me this is the best part of the day. Such talent we have among us! I'm inspired to run home to sew and sew once again.....

Thanks for coming, ladies. Can't wait to see what you bring to share with us next year!
