Workshop: Quilting in Self-Portrait, Saturdays October/November. The lines and subtle nuances of our face capture the essence of our spirit. Through creative writing, life stories, journaling and quilting, our portrait becomes a memory vessel as we celebrate our challenges and victories. Fee: $180 (includes most supplies).

| Thanks to everyone who came out to enjoy an afternoon with tea, pastries, "quilts" and applique pieces from the Continent, as well as American antique quilts and patches. The experience filled us with smiles, great conversation, fun and remembrance of the energy and high spirits for those whose creativity we honored. |
| It was especially wonderful to share in the passion and enthusiasm for quilts, of the men who joined us. |
| Martha made a lovely Ethiopian tea made from fresh cloves, cinnamon and chamomile pods. |
