I lost a good friend today. Marilyn has been mentioned on my blog more than anyone else. We've been good friends for well over a decade. We met a few days after she moved here. Over the years we've shared lots of memories. For Marilyn's 75th birthday, I had her friends gather fat quarters for her.

Marilyn has joined me at several events where I've done demo's and shown off some of my vintage sewing machines over the years.

Marilyn and I were in two quilt guilds together. Over the years we co-sponsored tables at several of the guilds Holiday parties, and worked on many things for the other guild.
Marilyn and I went on Shop Hops together, were in Quilts of Valor for many years together, went to sew-in's at a local quilt shop weekly for several years, and also guild sew-in's.
Two weeks ago, Marilyn gave me her hand crank sewing machine, a Bradbury Soeze that we'd picked up for her (together) over 10 years ago.

At the Missouri TOGA in June, Marilyn let me teach her Ruler Bag pattern.

My dear friend Marilyn, you will be greatly missed!
