The Palmetto Gourd Patch was established so we can share our love of gourds. Promoting the growing of gourds, sharing the love of gourd art, and letting everyone know how to safely work with gourds - that is our purpose. Come and join us. We readily share our talents and abilities with each other and we have FUN!
The picture above is a coiled gourd we will be making at the next meeting..

LYNNE BALDWIN had surgery at Memorial Mission Hospital in Asheville, NC! She came through ok. She has a long way to go though and needs your prayers and thoughts! Lynne had to get a new Aortic Heart Valve. You may remember that almost one year ago she was diagnosed with Wegeners Disease, which is an auto-immune disease affecting her lungs, so she no longer cuts gourds or is to be around gourd dust. This heart valve problem came on as a surprise, after a couple fainting spells last Thursday and Heart Cath Friday, she was dwindled off enough medicines to have surgery performed this morning; the surgery took five hours. Lynn has been a faithful member. Please send a card if you can. Contact Marianne or Peggy Ash for the address or sent to Christine Pace.
