Do you remember when the tea room at the St. Jacobs Schoolhouse was decorated with many interesting china teapots,  a stained glass tea pot with a light and interesting tea cups ...and only Red Rose Tea was served? Dorothy Snider was the hostess in the tea room for many years. Guests raved about the wonderful tea and delightful squares. Dorothy was a member of The St. Jacob Quilt Shows Board and contributed many great ideas and stories. Sadly, this morning  her obit appeared in the Record.

Christmas Cake

What a surprise! I opened a big white box with a bright yellow bow and card on it. To my surprise...there was Christmas cake lying on a bed. The quilt was made with red and green square blocks. The marshallowy pillows had little red and green decorations. Now I have my cake and I can eat it too! Unique gift ...and I love it.
