“The meeting starts at one,” her mother informed her.
Veve would have liked to be a little late to cut down her sewing time. She already had one demerit for tardiness, however, and could not risk another. So she decided she would be on time.
After lunch, she changed into her Brownie uniform and went to Miss Gordon’s home. All the girls were disappointed by the rain. But they agreed it was a fine time to finish the crazy quilt.
“If we each sew three blocks, it will be finished,” Miss Gordon declared. “Then I’ll put it on the frames and quilt it for you.”
“When will we have the quilt sale?” Connie asked.
Miss Gordon said she thought the auction and show possibly might be held within a week or ten days.
“It all depends upon when we have our quilts ready to exhibit,” she added. “Let’s have a report now. How many have arranged to have at least one quilt entered in the display?”
Connie quickly announced that she would have two exhibits, the Sawtooth quilt and a woven Washington coverlet.
Rosemary next made her report. She said she had been promised an Evening Star pattern. Eileen was sure she would have one in the Pine Tree design. Sunny’s aunt had given her a very old one, made entirely of little scraps of velvet and silk.
As for Jane and Veve, they both told Miss Gordon they surely would find quilts to enter in the show. Actually, they were a trifle worried, for the time was short.
