My husband spent some time splitting maple logs for the woodpile this
morning, as the last of the leaves floated down to the forest floor. He
takes pleasure and pride in creating the long rows of neatly piled
seasoned firewood. We both anticipate enjoying the lovely warmth of
the woodstove in the coming cold.
In my sewing room I also create long rows of fabric, then sew them into
quilts. I have "piled" my fabrics on the shelves in colour coordinated
(more or less) rows and likewise take pleasure and pride in the
creativity. I hope the quilts and handmade gifts give warmth to the
recipient and a sense that someone cares.
I really enjoyed Anita Zoben's time with us last month. She was so easy
to listen to and I learned a lot about needles and thread, the "tools of
our trade". We had a number of guests as well to hear Anita and I have
heard from several that they felt welcomed by the guild members.
Good for you!!
I have also heard good things about Lorna McMahon of Sew Fresh
Quilts, our speaker for the November Meeting and look forward to her
presentation.
Hope you are all enjoying this beautiful fall weather and that you will
be able to come to the meeting Nov. 15th.
President Marion.
