November Meeting

 **********

We met on November 14 at Meg's house, Debbie and Sylvia were hostesses. In addition to them, Meg, Sheila, Cyndi (and her granddaughter,) and Marcia were in attendance.

Debbie brought some wonderful "Taco Cupcakes" made with wonton wrappers in muffin tins, with sour cream and green onions for garnish.  She also made a scrumptious Guacamole to go with chips, and some Red Velvet Brownies.  We all pigged out and loved every bite.

BUSINESS MEETING:

The Christmas Party was discussed.  It will be on December 7th at 11:00 am at Jim's Razorback Pizza in Farmington, near Tooley's.  Gifts for the Dirty Santa gifting game should be wrapped only in a gift bag with tissue paper and the donor's name on the gift.  There is a $15.00 limit, and it does not need to be sewing related, but it should be nice, something you would enjoy receiving yourself; you never know--you might actually get it back yourself.

All spots for hosting next year have been taken except for February, and since every one has signed up for two months already, it was decided to hold a Valentine's Party that month.  This will be discussed more in January.

Marcia passed out the Block of the Month, called Hither and Yon.  Next month the last pattern will be handed out, but Marcia has copies of the past month patterns if anyone is missing some.

Show and Tell

 Sheila showed a quilt made from thrift store napkins! Repurposing worked great in this case. (Cyndi's granddaughter is seen to the left.)

 Sheila also did this pretty horse themed quilt--love the aqua and brown colorway.

 Cyndi showed this Santa she bought at War Eagle Fair.

 Meg showed a Christmas themed table runner she made, one of two.

 Meg also made this lovely diamond quilt.

 Meg made two similar quilts that look quite different, the only differences being the fabrics she chose and the number of pieces in the blocks.

 She also showed off her niece's first novel, "The Golden City" by J. Kathleen Cheney.

PROGRAM:

     

For our program, Meg brought out lots of fabric that had been donated to the club but had not been used. In round-robin fashion we all took turns picking one piece at a time until it had all been passed out.  We were all happy with our new fabrics that we took home to add to our personal stashes! Since there were only 6 of us, we each took home an armful.

SPECIAL THANKS TO SYLVIA FOR GIVING US EACH A JAR OF HER HOME-GROWN HONEY! YUM!!

The next meeting will be our Christmas party, Dec. 7th, as discussed above.
