This week the girls catch up and Leslie gets to hear all about Rochelle's great painting adventure in Texas! But first, an update on her mom, Pat who just had a scary injury. Rochelle's Texas trip involved not quilting, but PAINTING a chair and a teapot. It was her first adventure off doing something where she didn't know anyone and they didn't know her. So, this was a great experience for her, but exhausting! It was an Alice in Wonderland theme party and there were costumes involved. She is also heading to Nebraska soon to visit our other friends and have some quilty time with them. She will head back Tuesday though in order to be here for our friend, Melissa's husband Steve's funeral service. He was a dear friend to our local quilting community and a true hard-working supporter of his wife and best friend. He will be truly missed by many. 

This episode is dedicated to the memory of Steve Struttmann and the honor of our friend, Melissa Struttmann.

To help Melissa during this time of grief, please consider buying a pattern on her website osagehillsretreat.com. 

To send Melissa a card of encouragement, please mail to: Melissa Struttmann, 4800 W. Munson Rd., Skiatook, OK 74070
