Mother’s Day Madness Tea Party

“Pip, pip and cheerio” – Come one, come all! VQG is having a Mother’s Day Madness Tea Party complete with hats, teacups and antique quilts. We will be serving an assortment of teas (coffee too) and a wonderful spread of “high tea” munchies and sweets.  We hope you will bring your favorite teacup to sip your tea and share with us why it is special to you.
We encourage you to wear your favorite hat — or make a new and interesting one.  There will be prizes for the most original hat, the biggest hat, the smallest hat, the funniest hat and the most unique hat.  We hope everyone will get in the spirit and participate.  This will be sooo much fun.
Our member, Pat Wellbaum, will be sharing some beautiful antique quilts as part of our ambience for the party.  If you have an antique quilt you would like to share during the “show and share” portion of the meeting, we will welcome those as well.
Social time will begin at 9:00, the meeting at 9:30, antique quilts and show and share at 10:00, Pinkies up and PARTY starts at 11:00
We would like to know how many to plan for, so please “register” by signing up at the April meeting or RSVP to the following:
