Hi Everyone,

Another great quilt meeting --

Marja, Cathy, Gayle, and Eddie brought gorgeous quilts to show off, and Marilyn brought lovely bags (made for her lucky nieces.).

The group chose the fabrics to use for Sandra's teaching project, and most (?) of the runner was completed at the meeting. (Those wanting to continue working on it before the next meeting should contact Sandra....)

Marja brought the Florenceville "heritage" quilt, and Marilyn suggested that we contact Mrs. Martinson in Glassville to see if she knew the quilt's history.  (Mrs Martinson was not aware of the Florenceville quilt, but knew of two other "signature" quilts:  one at the Glassville United Church and one that she herself has, which her father won in a raffle. She has the key to the church and can arrange for us to see both of these historic quilts.)

Eddie single-handedly, and Sandra with much help from doll-makers at the Florenceville Elemantary School, have made about 80 dolls for pediatric patients at the Chalmers Hospital in Fredericton.  When we have supplied the hospital with 100 dolls, their doll needs will be met for this year. ( If the group would like to take on another project, please bring ideas --)

Thanks to Gail for delicious ginger cookies!
Our next meeting is May 21, the group's one-year anniversary.  Please email if you'd be willing to bring snacks, or any other festive contribution!

See you then!
