Tea, Farewell and Beer














On August 23rd, the Queen City Sampler Guild had an all day stitch in and an afternoon tea. There were lots of guild members in attendance and some shared samplers and smalls that they've completed. Our members do exquisite needlework. We had a general meeting and discussed the upcoming board elections, programs/classes and an exciting quilt raffle project with stitched celtic hearts and alphabet. The afternoon tea was a nice break for our stitching fingers.

That evening, we went to Adam's going away party. Adam is moving to California. He's following his heart - Lauren. His friends and family will miss him. We wish him and Lauren only the best and hope they fulfill their dreams.

This was our entertainment on Sunday. Rich and I went to the Germainia Society's Octoberfest where we met Lauren's parents and Adam and Lauren. It was a very hot day so we mainly stayed in the Klubhaus (air conditioning) and enjoyed beer, a saurbraten dinner, cream puff or strudel and beer. It was a delightful, busy weekend.
