Description: A light green sheet of paper folded in half to make a card. There is a cutout of two toadstools on the front, and a piece of weaving in cotton, blue weft with a yellow warp, behind the cutout. Inside the open card, written in pen, viewer’s right, “Dear Mary, I’m enclosing the money order receipt for the pique book - and your 12 (cent) change. It was so lovely to have you visit. I hope we can entice you north again sometime soon. I’ll be interested to hear of your experiences with computer draw-downs of pique. I leave out the shots that don’t show on the surface mine don’t look right. Perhaps it is because the computer thinks in terms of 50/50 weaves. Bob and I will be driving back from Vancouver and staying overnight in Banff on Aug. 22. We’ll get to Banff in the late afternoon. I’ll give you a call - and hope that you will be free to come and have dinner with us. Love, Eileen May 31, 1989” Printed in pencil “HETT E-14-#14 -96”

Inside, written on viewer’s right, “Dear Mary, I’ve just heard that you have had to have a session in the hospital this fall. I hope you are feeling more comfortable by now. Our guild has just had our annual sale. The figures seem to be about the same as last year - not growing but not dropping either. As you may know the HWSDA conference will be in Fairview this year - a very long way for the people in the south of the province to go. Marg and I are scheduled to teach 2 short dying classes at Olds this summer. Unfortunately they are the same time as Convergence so they may not run. Take care, Love Eileen Hett”.
