Christmas Party 2009

We held our annual Christmas Party at Sheelah's house in lovely Old Louisville. If you've never been before, a good time to go is during the St. James Art Show, voted as the best in the country, at one time. Also, there is an Old Louisville Home Tour, during the Christmas season.

We had a lovely time with our pot luck lunch and Show and Tell of our year's past accomplishments. Mary has been hooked by the One Block Wonder, Encore bug. I think she's made at least 6 quilts and these 2 are in the final stages of completion.

Ginny also was busy this year, finishing a Mckenna Ryan block of the month quilt, this is Journey to the Light. If any of you have ever tried one of these complicated patterns, you know what a feet that was-raw edge applique rocks!

We had our unveiling of the Christmas Socks. I'm afraid I wore the same ones last year. I'll be on the hunt for after Christmas sales for next year's socks.

Quilters have a generous spirit and our group has certainly been blessed with just such ladies in attendance. This is Betty. She introduced another Snowbird to quilting last year. This is the quilt they went to a class to learn. The woman did not like quilting. Betty took the fabric home and finished this quilt and will be returning to Florida in the winter and she's going to give it to her. Betty also finished the Quiet Village, a project a few of our members have attempted.
