We started the month out with a family reunion for the Pointer Family - David's Dad's family. He was one of 13 (3 Bentleys and 10 Pointers). It was quite a group.
Here are the remaining 3 with some spouses and their kids who were present. There were about 100 there and the food table went on forever!
Here are the original generation of siblings/spouses. Uncle Jim Pointer, Uncle Bill and Aunt Frances (Pointer) Davis, Aunt Gladys Pointer, Rosamae and Lloyd Bentley.
There were group photos of each of the 13 families of those in attendance. It was quite something to see. Then, the grandkids wanted to try to recreate this photo from the last reunion (14 years ago).
Sarah is in the front in the red shirt.
Here they are today........minus Sarah and one other one!
The quilt guild program this month was about English paper piecing. Some fabulous quilts were shown.
Isn't this one amazing!.........Up close...........
And here is one of my mom's quilts that I picked up from the quilter. I laid it out on the bed in the spare room. It still needs to be trimmed and bound.
I spent some time working on a Thanksgiving wall hanging that was on my UFO list. I have it all pieced.
The ladies showing the English Paper Piecing also had some quilts with really tiny pieces, so I was motivated to see if I could do really small (not tiny!) leaves. I think they turned out pretty well.
And the kitten update............
We still have 4! Sarah can't wait to come home and play with them.
And Muffin............
Doing what she does best!
