Sew delightful: Afternoon tea with CAMEO's Quilters!

Barb & Rachel of BTS with Judy Murray, expert quilter and family, too!

Tea time with the ladies of CAMEO ("Come and Meet Each Other") is seamless seamstress event and we enjoyed every minute!

Last month, BTS presented "Tea and Etiquette" to a warm and oh-sew-talented group of ladies.  One of the CAMEO members is especially special to us, Judy Murray.  We're soon to be family (!) - Judy is the grandmother of my daughter's (Rachel) fiancé.

A variety of sweets and savories served buffet style with tea-time-inspired quilt as the backdrop

While we presented a brief history of tea along with proper afternoon tea protocol, the ladies of CAMEO dined on afternoon tea fare provided by the members themselves. Set up in buffet style, there was a great variety of delicious sweets and savories displayed attractively against the backdrop of a tea-time-inspired quilt.

Each table was decorated by a CAMEO member. Judy's table donned a purple tablecloth that provided the perfect hue to set off her flower-accented tea set from Scotland (a souvenir from one her trips to Great Britain).

Each table was decorated in a different style

And, as only such a group could provide, a pretty, tiny quilted teapot decorated each place setting. (I now have mine resting comfortably on my kitchen table).

 A great big thank you to Judy and her quilting group for inviting BTS to be part of your CAMEO kick off meeting in September.
