Business: The sign up sheet for next year was passed around. Most months have just one hostess signed up, but I am sure most of us would appreciate a little help when the time comes, so don't be afraid to jump in to offer to co-host.
We also reviewed the plans for the Christmas luncheon, which will be held at Golden Corral on Dec. 11th at 1:00 pm. That's a Thursday. There is no organized gift exchange or program--just a leisurely lunch to visit with friends.
Show and Tell:
Marcia showed three baby quilts she had made for future babies. The pink one and the blue one are made of Jacob's Ladder blocks.
She calls this one "Bubblegum" because of the bubblegum pink fabric she used for the background.
Meg showed this small baby quilt with a musical theme made by her friend Carolyn Gaskill.
And Meg made this one called "Stars and Strips." She's been working on this one during our Thursday group sew sessions.
Susan showed off some of her crafting skills. She made this lovely card:
Plus she showed this lovely basket made from fabric strips filled with batting scraps. She then used fabric stiffener to make it very sturdy.
Sheila showed this lovely quick called "Zipper." It's beautiful in batiks.
Cyndi has been finishing up UFO's, including this top she bought at one of our auctions:
and this table-runner which was one of her first quilt projects:
This graphic black and white quilt made us all envious!
We love the way the pattern of this one looks like it has curves, but doesn't. Her fabric choices were perfect!
And this was another auction buy that she finished up. The centers are hand-embroidered blocks that Sylvia had made.
PROGRAM:
Sheila showed us how to use 2-8" circles to make a cute and easy Christmas ornament! They would make lovely gift toppers as well. We each made one in just a few minutes of sewing. Thanks, Sheila!
Next month the "meeting" will be the Christmas Luncheon!
