Dear KQG:

Mechelle Dennis provided us with a wonderful program

on how she started her shop in Antlers, OK. She

brought fabric for us to purchase. She also does long

arm quilting. A couple members showed us quilts that

she had quilted for them.

We all need to work on donated items to sell in the quilt

show. Your help is appreciated.

Quilt on,

Debbie

school. The quilts are on display

downstairs in the Old McAlester

High School. A former teacher

made a donation to the guild to

offset the expense of quilting.

I have made this using romaine lettuce. Also I do not pour the dressing over all the lettuce/spinach. I measure out individual servings then combine let-tuce/spinach in bowl and use part of the dressing. Save the rest of the dressing for another salad.

Mark your calendars:
