August 2022 Work Day Recap

What a beautiful weekend spent with friends.  Saturday we honored Cathy Frueh's daughter-in-law, Chelsea, who passed away from metastatic melanoma at the age of 28, married for six months.  Good stories, beautiful family photos, and yummy food made for a very festive day.  If you're reading this blog, Chelsea's legacy would be to encourage you to see a dermatologist yearly for skin check-ups!  JUST DO IT!

(It may also be beneficial to take time right now to encourage everyone to see their doctor regularly, as our members prayed this weekend for two women facing cancer diagnoses.  You are so very precious, please take care of YOU!)

 

So besides the Fiesta, we sorted a generous donation of fabric!  It's always fun to look through new fabrics for inspiration!

Show and Tell never disappoints!  Be sure to take a look at the blog to see all the PHOTOS.  We turned in 24 quilts, 10 pillowcases, 1 walker bag, and 3 dog beds!   We also donated several cotton fabrics to the Dress a Girl Around the World local chapter.  As you know, several of our quilts also go to Bible Camp Quilt Auctions. TOur donations to the Riverside Auction brought $810 for the camp!  We usually get the Okoboji results in September and I'll also share them when they come in.

The Patriotic tops made at the Couples/Friends event are starting to come together.  The recent donation included a lot of patriotic fabric which will be great for pulling the blocks and rows together with sashing and borders. Here is one that was started.  The sashing pulls the different blocks and rows together and the blue flag board will set it all off!

All in all, it was a very fun, productive, special time with the group this August.  Have a great week and month ahead!
