Lakeland Quilt Club Luncheon
July 28, 2016 at 4:25 p.m.
By -
The Quilt Club invited two other clubs from the area to hear Jenny Draper of The Chocolate Thimble, Huntertown, who presented “Tell Their Stories” to the group. Draper and her sister have a combined business of making chocolates and doing custom quilting, thus the name of the company. Draper brought samples of things that she has re-purposed and recycled from such things as hand- embroidered pillow cases, her grandfather’s hand spun wool used for blankets years ago and now made into teddy bears for all her grandchildren as well as her grandmother’s dresser scarves that adorn pillows for various family members. She urged everyone to make sure that family heirlooms are identified and their story or history told to children who will inherit those treasures.
Lunch prepared by several members was served following the presentation.
Flowers from Suze Wilt’s garden adorned each table, and the person with the birthday closest to Monday’s date took the flowers home.
Upcoming meetings will spotlight various skills that members want to learn and Eunice Scully of Fort Wayne will be demonstrating embellishments at a meeting soon.
Regular meetings are on the second and fourth Monday of each month at 10 a.m. in North Webster.[[In-content Ad]]
