The New "Canadian Quilt"

On Sunday I asked one of the staff to take a group photo of us. Here are the ladies that attending the scrapbooking retreat. Back row - Kathryn, Sarah, Denise; Second row - Laura, Christie, Linda, Brenda, Sara; Bottom row - Shelley and Dale. Dale had a wonderful idea - before Sunday lunch we had to write an affirming statement of each of the ladies there. It does make you feel good inside when you read a note stating something positive about you. Thank you Dale and the rest of the ladies for your words. Thank you Denise for providing this opportunity for doing our albums and the time for fellowship too. Now if you are wondering about my title - in the movie American Quilt, it had a bunch of ladies sewing a marriage quilt for one of the main characters. While sewing the quilt, it provided the ladies to have fellowship and share what is going on in their lives (and other people's lives too). For me, scrapbooking is the same thing. It joins women together for fellowship and sharing while capturing memories to be shared with family generations to come - so that is why I called it the new "Canadian Quilt" (since I am from Canada).
