Mary Llewellyn

Mary tells us that her first and longest attended Satellite was the Narrows Needlers. Then Mary helped start the interest group Garment Workers and Comforters. She also belonged to the Doll Mamas, Moonlighters, Starlight Stitchers and PM Patchers.
About 1980 she took over the book orders and did that until a few years ago; she has been librarian for about 5 years or so. She says they have moved the library three times and that was NOT fun!
Mary feels NAGOPS has been a wonderful group of people. Her most precious item is the “Little Miss Mary” quilt that was made from the blocks given to her when she was coordinator for Comforters in 1987-88. It was designed by Jeannie Austin and 42 ladies made the blocks. It is a trip down memory lane when she looks at it as so many of our members have moved or passed away. They all signed their blocks and she absolutely loves it.
If it had not been for all the wonderful members and the wonderful classes she would never have
tried all the exciting projects, especially beading, thanks to Midge DeSart!
Mary has been on many nominating committees, worked on our exhibits, teas and luncheons, as
well as Librarian, coordinator, book orders and other times when she has been needed.
