July 2009 Meeting

Today we met at Robyn Chamberlain's home for a nice mid summer quilt meeting. After show and tell, Robyn showed us how to crochet a round rug using 1 inch wide fabric strips. She also served a delicious lunch of Caeser Salad, grapes, watermelon, yummy bread and wonderful fruit trifles for dessert. Thanks so much Robyn.

Lunch was a fun treat and as usual requests came for recipes. So here are 2 of them. More may be coming later.
