Penny Mora....from Judy

I had the pleasure of meeting Penny several times.  She also called Bugg her "cyber g'daughter" and has sent her several gifts.

Penny Mora....from Bonnie

I met Penny several times as well.  First was in Lancaster in the 90s for the quilt show there.  Then the following year (I think) she came to QF and stayed with Annie.  They both came to my house for the RPLOTN party.  I have fond memories.  Feel really sad for the grandsons as they had such close contact with her almost daily, living in the same house.  They were the light of her life I think.

 

 

Penny memories...from Cindy

I think I will always remember Penny taking over bedroom when she came to Houston for Quilt Festival the year she stayed with us.I drove to Hobby to pick her up, and having never met her, I wasn't sure who I was looking for. When I went to the desk to check her flight (it was delayed), I couldn't remember her last name!! Of course, the lady behind the desk didn't want to give me ANY information since I wasn't family and didn't have a last name! It was CRAZY! I wasn't sure she had connected to her flight, was she even ON the plane, etc.! I had Chris with me, and since he was about 8 years old, he was totally bored!! haha Finally, however, the flight from California arrived, and when Penny came out of the plane, I knew her right away! Chris was holding a sign that said "Penny from Madrid??" on it, and I could hear her laughing across the waiting area.

I also remember that she was a heavy smoker at the time, so Kenny set up a smoking area on our outside patio area. Penny was quite large and wore these "mumus" that she made. She gave me one of hers with the comment that I could make SEVERAL things from the yards and yards of fabric. Anyway, I remember Penny sitting on my porch swing smoking and talking about how much she loved all of the quilting group, getting to know everyone, etc. I just wanted to share this with all of you.
