On Wednesday, December 14th, Board members of Blue Ridge Quilters arrived at the Blue Ridge Library with a gift of appreciation to be presented to the Library. The gift was beautifully gift wrapped and was manfully and enthusiastically unwrapped and opened by Steve Vest to reveal a large white erasable board with built in height adjustable legs. And, in a separate gift wrapped package were a package of fine point erasable pens, a package of wide point erasable pens, a board eraser and board cleaner, as well as a handy plastic container in which to keep them. The board will be available for use by all groups as well as the Library.

Thank you, Ed Zaleski, for taking such great pictures of the occasion.

Rip it !!

Initiating the gift

Steve Vest just could not wait to break it in and wrote a nice Thank You Quilter’s Guild to initiate the erasable white board. On the table in front, just barely visible is the box in which they will keep the other part of the gift, erasable markers, board cleaner and eraser.

And, while at the Library, Ed also took photos of quilts donated to the Library by the Guild in past years. Do you remember these? I am sure quite a few of us worked on at least one.

And, just because it was Ed taking the pictures, a little something extra . . .
