July 5 and 6, 1990: Bound the quilt.
July 7, 1990: Picture taken at Stop Inn of all the quilters with the quilt."
I don't remember at all how it happened that none of the Lincolnites or Bill's went to the annual 4th picnic this particular year. It had been a family tradition for decades. I thought Grandma said it started -- a family picnic on the 4th itself -- around the time she and Grandpa got married. In 1990 that would have been over 50 years. It was mostly unsaid, but still important to Grandma that there be a good showing so the tradition would continue. As for myself, I was pregnant for this 4th, but not THAT pregnant. Several of us came up later in the month for the centennial, so maybe that is why we skipped the 4th.
I guess the centennial quilt was not quite finished as Grandma and I reported yesterday, but the bulk of it was done and binding is a one-person job anyway.
Ah, the Stop Inn. That is where in 1980 I unknowingly gave Kim mono. I wasn't yet showing symptoms but was contagious. Kim and I always shared a pop when we played pinball after school. Guess that would be another oops.
The photo was very likely taken during a 4th of July picnic. I think there was an impromptu tour of Dorothy Jo's flowers going on. That's Grandma, Johanna, Dora and Dorothy Jo.
