RMQG Celebrates its ONE-YEAR Anniversary April 2012
Posted By drsao on April 21, 2012
Last night there was a lot of fun HAPPENING at the Richmond Modern Quilt Guild in Midlothian, VA. We celebrated our ONE YEAR anniversary by honoring our outgoing president! Catherine got prizes from each of the board members (as well as a lifetime membership to RMQG and a Hobby Lobby gift card – we all know that this is going to produce lots of future creative masterpieces too!)
OUTGOING PRES CATHERINE and INCOMING PRES CHERYL begin the celebratory part of the meeting!
The GIFT CARD - brought smiles
The Beach Bag and the Tissue Box brought MORE SMILES
AND THEN THE TEARS OF JOY AND GRATITUDE POURED FORTH…..
Susan produced a tear-jerker masterpiece
GOOD JOB SUSAN
It even has a butterfly – probably one of Catherine’s favorite creatures. I cannot believe that I didn’t take a picture of the cupcakes that Catherine brought for the festivities. They were beautiful – decorated with colorful butterflies.

Catherine also got some wonderful potholders in my favorite colors….red and black.

Catherine has such a caring heart and beautiful spirit – and I can see from kindness comes her tears of joy – what a beautiful friend you have. Loved all your pictures and thanks for sharing them. Blogger has caused such havoc of late on my blog (and others) and your site was dropped from my blog roll – resulting in my absence from trying to keep up with you. As if that is possible.
Be sure and drop by my blog tomorrow when it will be my turn to post on the Mini Quilts/Table Stand Blog Hop that has been under way for a week. Thought some of these designs would be great for you in your color challenge and Alzheimer’s quilts – that is if you like paper piecing – most of my mini’s were free patterns from Carol Doak. Just pure inspiration from 46 ladies. Judy C
