In June, rather than a regular meeting, we had a purse workshop instead with Randi, Linda, Helen, Margie, Peggy, and Tricia attending. Dawn and Carol were not able to come, and we all missed them.
Next Meeting
Tuesday, July 19, usual time and place with food volunteers as follows:
- Helen: Taco salad
- Linda: Stuffed jalapenos
- Dessert: Randi
Workshop
With all the time spent at the previous meeting selecting patterns, everyone to a person, chose a different pattern. Peggy, Tricia, Margie, and Helen all made the "mini messenger bag," and Linda and Randi both made zipper bags, each from a different pattern. Everyone made good progress with Peggy and Helen finishing their mini-messengers. By our July meeting, hopefully everyone will bring their finished bags so we can take photos.
Tricia shared some deviled eggs as an afternoon snack. The recipe is available on the blog's recipe page.
Dragonlord Business
Many of us brought our finished Dragonlord quilts. Several are still in the works, and some that were collected from other groups are being finished by Bees members. A new deadline will be discussed at our next meeting. Still pending is a method for shipping all the quilts. Peggy suggested that volunteers could take on shipping and paying for 5-7 quilts each. Apparently UPS will give us an 80% discount if we ship over 150 pounds. We're not sure how much the finished quilts will weigh or of the criteria for packaging to take advantage of that possibility.
Peggy and Tricia made quilts for sisters. Peggy's girls are 2 and 5; Tricia's are 6 and 8.
Helen really outdid herself! What a lucky little boy!
Randi also shared with us a beautiful prize-winning quilt she made for her son.

Wow!! Those military kids are so lucky to have such beautiful quilts. Thanks also to Tricia and Peggy for being such wonderful teachers so that each of us will have a custom designed purse. I hope to show it off at our July meeting
Wow! Very cool!
