Feb 11 Lunch Meeting Report

 Four of us met at the White Spot on Kingsway for a lunch get together.  Colleen and Adrienne kept us entertained with their stories about growing up in rural Canada, Adrienne in Chicoutimi, Quebec and Colleen in northern Saskatchewan.  They both attended a proverbial one room school house where several grades were taught simultaneously.  Adrienne must have been listening in to the more advanced students because it might surprise you to know that she graduated from high school and moved to BC by herself at age 15 and that was the same year she started attending university as well.  

Colleen brought her "WE ARE CANADIAN" quilt and said she had such a positive response from everyone after sending the photo around that she will find her pattern and bring it to our next meeting at Joyce's. 

This photo does not show all the detail so I will post a clearer photo when we see it again.

Penny brought one of her Disappearing Nine Patch blocks to show us.  Sorry I don't have a photo.  It was still at the Nine Patch stage and was made with fabrics from her stash with the main squares being really pretty coordinating florals in tiny prints of blues, lilacs and pinks.  It will be a really pretty quilt when finished and one that Penny will probably keep for herself.

It was a small but fun meeting and we congratulated ourselves for being brave and going out in the sub zero temps while four of our members were vacation in warmer climes.
