| Tonight was all about Scraps When Life give you Scraps...make a Quilt! |
 |
| I (Glenna) was the host this month. All I really had to show this month was my Alphabet Quilt (Spell it with Moda pattern) I madethis with a solid Jelly Roll and everything else came from my Scraps Great way to use up larger pieces. |
 |
| Kathee brought a quilt she bought from a school Fund raiser and it happened to be made by "Our Peg"! Fun and Scrappy! |
 |
| Kathee finished this Scrappy String quilt. Another great use of Scraps. |
 |

| Jeanene Finished this quilt she started from a kit. Perfect points and piecing Jeanene is a master quilter Nothing Scrappy about this Quilt This Month Jeanene brought her two sister's Susan and Doris to our group. (sister's are always welcome) |
 |
| Jeanene said she told Doris to take a few thins off the wall and bring them with her. She brought this because it was a great Scrappy Star. |
 |
| Another Star Quilt I love the color contrast. Scraps would work for this pattern. |
 |
| These were actual Scraps given to her on her visit to Nauvoo trip. |

 |
| Donna's Scrappy Dresden She can't remember where she got them...What? Starched and pressed they are ready to finish a new Scrappy top. |

| No fancy desserts but in Honor of My Mother (and Peg's) We made bread for everyone. Mom's birthday is the 29th of Aug. We are honoring her by making bread a giving it to some one that might need a little lift. |
 |
| Mom made bread every week 10 pound bag 10 loafs of bread always a few went to some else. (actual bowl she used) |
 |
| Mom and brother Sam |
With a simple loaf of Bread Mom lifted others load and shared others burdens and tought service to her children by example.
Happy Birthday Mom
No
Half Loaf, This
Friendly were the words
you said,
Tendering the loaf of
bread
Oven warm and savory:
How much that gesture
meant to me,
Almost a stranger,
lonely, too,
And gladdened by the
sight of you.
I would repay you if I
could
Oh, yes the bread was
extra good.
(I’d like the recipe
some day.)
But let me ask you if I
may,
How you acquired the
finer art
O nourishing the hungry
heart?
I never had the knack
somehow.
(I’d like that recipe
right now.)
