The public reception was last week -- and the staff party was yesterday! We'd had Mexican and Italian and Asian menus at other library parties. I chose barbeque. The library staff includes a lot of ace party planners and they had great fun with a nouveau western theme -- keeping my favorite colors of purple and lime.
Purple and green bandannas were folded around the boot cutout with silverware tucked inside.

And here's my quilt! The staff and the trustees signed quilt blocks. Barb set and quilted them. Look at the border fabric!

On Friday afternoon I finished writing 43 thank you notes. I have some more writing to do this afternoon! (These gift bags have fat quarters, real quarters, a scrapbook for our travel photos, picnicware, and more wonderful, thoughtful gifts.)
I spoke at a guild yesterday that meets in a middle school library. There were such wonderful book displays around the room. I instantly thought of you. I know you're going to miss it.
