Aug 18

Our tables were again arranged with a path through the center, rather than around the far edge. This is working very well.

Arden, in the midst of running around getting everything set up at Tilikum, realized that she had forgotten the steamer iron! She went home to get it, and returned just as we began eating dinner.

She also brought a few items from her home that others had forgotten to bring from their homes.

Nearly everyone was working on their new jelly roll quilts.

Arden has also provided us with a beautiful bouquet from her garden.

We were still working on our Jelly Roll quilts today.

Today was a Boersma's field trip. Arden picked up 1/2 yard pieces of fabric for those of us who didn't bring enough for the Mrs Wrights game.

Challenge: Pincushions
Dianne needed walnut shells to stuff her pincushion, so Cathy Green sent hers, via Arden. Arden, Barb, and Dianne all used Cathy's shells in their hand-made pincushions.

The pincushions were collected at 4:00 p.m., and were on display during dinner. We voted on them using the rules and categories set up by Pat and Debby.
Most Like Grandmas pincushion

Mrs Wright game.

After the game, we all drew numbers for the pincushions, then traded among ourselves until everyone had the one she wanted.

Dianne finished the top for her Aloha Quilt. She bought the kit at the Maui Quilt Shop on Maui.

A peacock escaped from the neighbor's farm, and has been entertaining us during our stay.

Barb has been working on an old project, a Blooming 9-patch. She, Colleen, and Susan have been working on it. Arden stepped in towards the end and added a much-needed helping hand. Colleen fixed one of the border blocks -- a solid and a 9-patch had been reversed.

Nancy and Jean left this evening after dinner.
