Keepsake Cottage is like many small businesses, the employees become family and the customers become friends. It is one of the things I love most about the shop.
Saturday was one of those days when it felt like we were all family. There is a group of ladies who come for a little class, show and tell and friendship two Saturday's a month. We just call them the Saturday Girls. We love it when they are there. It's like our fun cousins coming over to play on Saturday morning.
One of the Saturday Girls has been dealing with cancer. So what does a family of quilters do, why the make a quilt of course!
Colleen was selected to say a few words, and present the quilt to Janet.
As you can imagine, she was speechless.
We all went outside to take a few photos of the quilt and the group.
Standing: Joyce (the ringleader, teacher), Julie (me) Colleen, Sue, Brenda, June and Carol. Janet and Jane are in the front. Many of these ladies met in a class 5 years ago. For a couple of years they came once a month, but they have been coming twice a month for about 3 years now.
Just as we were starting to take pictures these 3 great gals came through the gate. Two of them stood on the bench and held the quilt and one of them was the official photographer!! Thank you Sara, Annalee and Christine for helping us out!!
I have the best customers in the world!!
