June 2011 Banquet

Some of the smiling faces at the tea party which was the final get together of the Q2 year until September.
More of the party goers looking well fed and contented.  A nice group attended the event. 

Marlene Perry is our upcoming president for the new year.  She takes over for Nancy Stanley who gave us two nice years.  Thanks, Nancy.  Will list all the new officers later on. 
Music was provided by this group of dulcimer players--a nice touch.
A program on tea was given by this very nice lady from Bay City - I am sorry I didn't get her name.  Sounds like she has a lovely shop.
Can't have a quilt meeting without "Show and Tell" - and here is Marsha showing the prettiest t-shirt quilt that I have ever seen.  It was made for her granddaughter.  Great job, Marsha!
A sampling of the pretty quilts shown by our talented members.  I have also put up as a slideshow photos that were taken at the retreat some of the gals attended last week.  From all reports, it was a happy, fun, busy, productive group of quilters who all enjoyed their getaway.

Hope to see you all next September.  Happy summer and happy quilting.
