Quilting

Mrs. Myrtle Standich, Mrs. Lisa Ferden, and Mrs. Dorothy Lamour (of no relation to the famous screen star) got together two nights ago for a quilting bee. Mrs. Dorothy Lamour felt as though the quilting bees as of late had become stale. "Lacking in pep," was the official quote. For added "pizzazz", a theme was chosen. The theme was 'A Few Of Our Favorite Things' from the Julie Andrews' classic Sound of Music. The beginning of the night was absorbed by conversation of and about the Julie Andrews' classic The Sound of Music. It was agreed that the movie, indeed, was a classic beyond the category of just Julie Andrews films (of which there are many to experience). It was most definitely a classic of world cinema. Noted moments are when Julie Andrews sings with the children on the mountain top and when Julie Andrews sings with the children by the water fountain. Also, when Julie Andrews sings with the children during the puppet show.

Once talk of Julie Andrews ended, needles were picked up and panels were selected. Mrs. Dorothy Lamour chose green panels, her favorite color. Panels of frogs, grass, and asparagas were added, as well as other objects that fit into the green motif. Mrs. Lisa Ferden chose panels of flowers. Mrs. Myrtle Standich and Mrs. Dorothy Lamour chatted once Mrs. Lisa Ferden had left the room. The topic was whether or not Mrs. Lisa Ferden's flower quilt should be allowed since all of Mrs. Lisa Ferden's quilts contained flower panels. A decision was made to allow it to be made, but to not accept it as an official 'A Few Of Our Favorite Things' quilt. And with the added stipulation that future themed quilting bees in which Mrs. Lisa Ferden participated in should not include flowers in an effort to expand Mrs. Lisa Ferden's quilting spectrum. The rest of the night went along as planned, with Mrs. Myrtle Standich settling on the theme of 'Grandchildren and Bananas' for her quilt.
