Fellowship June Picnic

 The June Fellowship Picnic was great fun.
We met at a wonderful fellowship hall ..much thanks to Joan for helping us once again with the location.
The potluck was outstanding as usual and we all ate more than we should!  I keep saying we need to do a cookbook.  Think about it ladies!!!  Linda gave stats on our attendance...average of 37 members per meeting.  Thanks to the leaders of this year for a great year...Linda, Claudia, Jeanette and Judy.   The next meeting is Aug 22 and will be a salad lunch...more later on that.   Linda handed over her crown to a new team of leaders...Della, Ruth and Sue.  I know they will do a great job!!

The project challenge from Barb for this year was her 1/2 and 1/2 Happy Hugs which gave us all several pieces of material and a surprise piece  inside.  We had about 19 quilts made and it was fun to hear and see what the fabrics were, how they were used and what people had to add to make their quilt.  We added more than a few quilts to the closet today.
Barb and Kathy were given pincushions as thanks you gifts with fancy pins made by members.  It was very thoughtful of all of you and I know I speak for Barb when I say you are all the best and thanks to everyone!!!!
We voted for our favorite quilt..So here is the first place winner...Jackie.  Congradulations!
