A Quilt Club Corner column about Lazy Daisy.

Lazy Daisy Has An Anniversary
Writes Birthday Letter to Quilt Club Cornerites

Dear Cornerites: It is such a long time since we became acquainted (September 24, 1935 - remember?) and I have been away for so long that I thought you had forgotten me.

So, you may well imagine how perfectly delighted I was to receive that scrap book from all of you the other day. I have read it over and over and can just see you at Marian Ridler's picnic working on this book.

Don't think just because I have been awy that I have not kept up with the Quilt Club news, for I read every scrap and have followed all of your activites.

As for me, right now I am knitting like everything for Sammy, who has gone to camp. I have sent several pairs of sox to him but he doesn't say much about them - just mentions that he is having a great deal of trouble with his feet lately and from the pictures he has sent me I gather that he isnt' very happy. So now I am going to make a sweater and perhaps that will have a better effect on him.

Mosey Mouse - you remember what a little pal of mine he was - does all he can to help me in winding my yarn and when I have to rip out my knitting (which I have to admit is often) he is right there to help me with that too.

Everybody in the Sew-and-Sew family is well and happy that just as delighted as I to hear from you again. The cards and gifts have just poured in and Mosey says that it is just like Christmas.

Do you remember Chirp the Cricket and Hoot the Owl? They have been with me right along and so has Upsy, my baby brother.

This is just like a Quilt Club family reunion isn't it? Thank you just a million for remembering me and don't wait another six years, please, before writing to me again. Most sincerely, Lazy Daisy Sew-and-Sew.​
