Quarterly News Letter–Fun At The Bee

August:  Annual Wee Bee Cookout

Sandra Ealy opened her home again to her Wee Bee girls to have our annual cookout.  We ate, we talked, we relaxed and I…………………………………………………………Slept.  I just got back for Texas, so I was tired.

September: AIDS Quilt, Happy Birthday, Congratulation, MIA, Etc…

We banded together to layout our AIDS Quilt blocks to put it together.

After laying out the blocks and numbering them, some of the girls hit the sewing machine to put the rows together.  Gwen Jackson took it home to finish sewing on the boarders, and I will be making the label.

It was also Linda Saunders Birthday.  Now how old are you?  I know the kids were calling her while at the meeting wishing her well on her birthday.  Happy Birthday Linda.

Shirley Royal was in town giving a helping hand with the AIDS quilt.  Emma what are you doing?  She is on the sewing machine.  After the initial shock of seeing Emma on the sewing machine, I had to check out what she was sewing.  It was a pillow case.  You go girl, we will make a sewing machine user out of you yet.  And who is that with a big smile on her face, Lezetta.  She has been spending time with the family, weddings and road trips.  We have missed you welcome back.

Congratulation to Lynora Williams, she has received her  Master of Science Degree in Library & Information Science.  You go girl.

We also like to give our Congratulation to Jocelyn Herbert  who is now Jocelyn Allen.  Hold on to that man, and stop having him sit in the car while you are in the meeting.

 

October:  Halloween Block Exchange, AIDS Quilt Finish, Workshop-Fabric Bowles

We had six exchange block for this spooky month and after seen the blocks two other Wee Bee members wanted to also join in the fun, so I can you will not see a quilt from this exchange until December or next October.

Our AID Quilt is completed and a label was made.  What a great quilt to add to the collection.  All we need to do is fill out the paper work and send it on it way to be add the the famous AIDS Quilt Foundation.

Fabric Bowl Workshop with Sandy Hassan.  We would like to thank Sandy for a great workshop on fabric bowls.  It was very fun and very easy.  You should have seen all the fabric being wrapped around rope.

We only had two finishers, Sandy or course and Linda M.

The rest of us will be finishing our fabric bowls at home and have it for show-n-tell at our next meeting.  They had so much fun making them, we might just see more then on.

Than is all for now, looking forward to Show-N-Tell in November.
