50 FOUR SEASONS BREEZE | MAY 2023 Quilting Enthusiasts April showers are suppose to bring May flowers. I do believe that we have had enough rain, more than enough rain to give us all a stunning show of May flowers this year. I just returned from a trip to Texas where the blue bonnets and Indian paint brush were blooming in the fields and along the roadways. Beautiful to see and enjoy, the California poppies and African daisies are, in my opinion, prettier and brighter! Now for news from the Four Seasons Quilting Enthusiasts: Last month, Mary taught the members how to do foundation piecing on paper. See the images below. We had a great show-and-tell from another member, Glenda Timms, who shared with us her beautiful scrap quilt. At the May meeting, Mary will teach Quilt-As-You-Go. Pictures will follow. The group learned that Sulli Hayek, the granddaughter of residents Penny and Rainey Cunard, was recently diagnosed with leukemia. The group gave her a quilt made by Sally Peterson, as a way to keep her wrapped in love during treatments. The Quilting Enthusiasts continue to welcome all who want to learn, sit and sew, or just learn more about what we do. We meet on the second Thursday of each month in Craft Room 2, at The Lodge, from 1 to 4 pm. Our meetings are informal and there will be classes offered from time to time. We sincerely hope that you will join us sometime! Peace through quilting. For info, contact me at (808) 430-7469, or via email, 4seasonsquilters@gmail.com. ~ Mary M.
