1 Columbine Quilters November 2017 O F F I C E R S Nancy Ballantyne Barbara Cencich Kay Frantz Cheryl Yergler Press Mess From Nancy The October Columbine Quilters meeting started out to be a comedy of errors a bit. Some thought I wouldn't be there. I was. However, the birthday cake I had ordered wasn't ready, so we had cupcakes. Rebecca thought since I wouldn't be there, she would bring cupcakes, so we had plenty of them. Barb brought enough food for an army, representing all the food groups. At the last minute we found that the person presenting the program was sick, so Rebecca improvised a "Bring Whatever You're Working On" program that turned out to be helpful and interesting. Marilyn was very sick, but I saw no reason why couldn't carry on her duties. However, I could find a coffee pot, so I used one from another cupboard that was labeled "Circle of Friends". Hope you're much better, Marilyn. I certainly have a new appreciation for Marilyn's part of CQ. Despite it all, we had a nice meeting and a group of people volunteered for a trunk show for the Basket Case Quilters January meeting. Aren't quilters terrific?
