Our resident author, Mary (see link for Mary's Productions), spoke to the local ELCA women's group at the church last night. She gave a demonstration on folding napkins from one of her books and included the group in the folding project. Mary also talked about her sweatshirt appliques, her new poncho patterns, her fabric designs and her apron patterns, especially the "Church Lady Apron." The photo is of Mary with our Lt. Governor, Carol Molnau, in an apron that Mary made for her. We invited the Lt. Gov. to join us for walking and talking; you can see from the photo that she took us up on it (a future story for our 'Blog).
Mary is the youngest member of our walking group and works out of her home office, which makes it easy for her to walk with the group. She gives seminars and attends trade shows all over the country and regales us with stories about her trips when she returns.
Mary coordinates our Margarita Night outings, attended a tugboat christening in California, and is half of "The Midwest Ya-Ya Sisters" with her friend Rita at seminars. We will share some of those stories in future 'Blogs.
