Yesterday was the Silver Needles Quilting Guild annual fundraiser. Katie had one of her guests cancel at the last minute so I filled her spot, coincidently, her name was Sue! Katie didn't even have to change the name on the pumpkin! When we came through here last year, we came at the very same week and I sat at another table. The ladies decorate all of their tables:
Katie's table was in black in white with fresh flowers, a toy Singer Sewing Machine and Iron that actually heated. She had stitched tea towels for us to color, had black and white tea towel and pot holder, crayons, and a pumpkin signifying our table setting!
After salad and sandwiches made from pumpkin and banana bread (yum), we had delicious home baked cookies the ladies made! They raised $5,000 from raffle tickets and the auction which they use for the club and the charities they are involved with! They also have lovely quilts displayed around the room.
While Katie and I were partying, Ted and Gary went to one of his Grandson's football games which they won! The Grandson, Cole, made a touchdown on offense and also played on defense.
This morning we left Kansas and are now in Missouri. Tomorrow we will be at our friends, Bill and Ginny's house where we camp in their yard! The only problem is that in Long Lane, their town, which really is just a long lane, we usually don't have cell, and therefore no internet service. We are staying there until Friday so there may be no blog for the rest of the week.
Quilt parties and football...
