All the Brownies pricked up their ears and listened hard. Even Veve forgot for a minute that she didn’t much care for anything connected with quilts.
“How can we have a show when the only quilt we own isn’t finished?” This practical question came from Connie.
Miss Gordon explained that she did not expect the Brownies to sew all the quilts which would be displayed in the show.
No, indeed! Instead, she proposed that the girls borrow from their acquaintances as many different types as they could.
“I can bring my mother’s album quilt!” Rosemary offered eagerly.
“I know where I can get a beautiful orange and yellow one,” added Connie. “It’s called the ‘Sunburst’ pattern and is out of this world!”
The girls chattered excitedly, discussing where they could obtain quilts to display in the Brownie show. Veve, however, was more interested in the advertisement page of the Rosedale Herald.
Suddenly she uttered a squeal of delight. “Say, I’ve found it! This ad is just the thing!”
“Oh, who wants to be a baby sitter?” scoffed Eileen. “Having a quilt show will be more fun.”
