“We can’t have the auction because we have no quilt to sell,” the teacher replied. “As for the show, I vote that we go on with it exactly as we planned.”
“So do I!” cried Connie, and all the other girls agreed.
Veve, however, was not as enthusiastic as the others, because she was afraid she never would find a quilt to display.
“I have another idea too!” Miss Gordon announced cheerfully.
The Brownies demanded to know what it was.
“Why not have a cherry festival in connection with our quilt show?” the teacher proposed. “It might help to draw a crowd and would be fun to plan.”
“Oh, that sounds exciting!” approved Connie. “How do we do it?”
Miss Gordon outlined her plans, and invited the girls to add their own suggestions. She had cut out petal patterns from which the girls could make artificial cherry blossoms to decorate booths.
“We can have paper lanterns decorated with the blossoms,” she went on. “Then you might like to select a festival queen. If so, we’ll need a throne.”
