Mrs. Thelma Messeroll, of Sauble Court, Grand Bend, succeeded beyond her wildest dreams recently. • When her grandson Nicholas was born in South Africa, she began to work on a special quilt, titled "Transportation" of 20 squares, each depicting a different form of trans port (i.e. boat, rocket, tractor, bike, truck, balloon, car, etc.). She began this work of art and love in 1981 abroad and finished- it in 1984, a cherished heirloom for Nicholas and his de- scendants. - What came as a delightful sur- prise, however, was a South. Afri- can magazine, Your Family, fea- tured her quilt in their August 1988 issue! The magazine is published in Durban, South Africa, and Mrs. Messcroll's daughter mailed her a -copy, so that all the Sauble Court residents could share in her proud moment. .
