May is a busy month, marked by traditions like May Day, Mother’s Day, Memorial Day.
May Day: a small basket filled with flowers hung on the doorknob of a neighbor or friend – knock on the door, then run and hide. Mother’s Day: a special day to spend with your mother or, if your mom has passed, remembering all the special times spent with her.
Memorial Day: a day honoring our veterans who died while serving. I remember marching in the parade and people lined the streets clapping, waving flags. Now it’s a three-day weekend not honoring the men and women who served their country.
It’s also a time of full activity for the quilt show committee. Rosemary, MQ Coordinator, along with Sue and Meliss, begin the job of gathering the quilt registrations and begin plotting out how and where the quilts will be hung in the auditorium. After they have set this up, then it is time to list all the quilts registered for the show book. They spend many volunteer hours making it happen. Thank you Rosemary, Sue, Meliss!
See you in July at the Quilt Show!
Thank you,
