It’s the first Monday! That almost always means a Cotton Quilters Meeting. Whew! What a workout! Sure, I’m president, so there’s that, but today Pam and I were in charge of lunch. She decided to have her husband, Derek, make a pot of spaghetti. Now, for most of us that means enough for perhaps ten people. However, we were 20 quilters, so that means double the meat. Except, Derek likes to cook big. Meaning, of course, he starts with a big pot. In this case, a gumbo pot. Seriously. A gumbo pot. Thanks, Derek! Richard and I enjoyed the leftovers.
Ah, but I digress. That happens when my belly is full of spaghetti. Here are some of the many items that we had for show and share. Wow! These ladies amaze me. Every month. You’d think I would expect it, but no. I’m surprised every time.

Imagine how awesome we’d be if almost half of us were up and running. It’s the season of surgeries–knees, hips, and hands were all under the knife this past month. Plus, someone lost a spouse and two more were diagnosed with cancer. So there are lots of prayer requests. You are invited to join in the prayer circle. We surely need them.
In other news, we’ve added about five new members to our illustrious little group. Two ladies came in for the first time today, but the last few months have seen other newbies to our little group. Hmm, I don’t know how people find out about the Cotton Quilters, but it’s always good to make new friends!
Interestingly, all of these quilts are approximately lap size. Two quilts are not included because they are from the Improv BOM event, and I am preparing a post just for those. Hopefully, you are enjoying the photos of our Cotton Quilters makes. By all means, leave a comment if you do.
