Our quilting group suspends meetings for the summer. Thursday was the finale in which we all made a picnic tote bag for the plates, silverware, and glasses that one takes to the various food events that define life in the French countryside. We had been given the pattern so we could select and cut out our fabrics in advance. There were cutting tables, irons, and sewing machines set up to work. People brought the quilts they made during the year some of which you can see here. We of course had our own food event eaten outside. We had poulet basquaise from a local traiteur and members brought appetizers and desserts. There was wine bien sur. I am about halfway done with my picnic sac which I need to finish before the weekly evening dinners start up in Ste. Foy and I need to make a second one for RXC.
