The Christmas Party was a whole lot of fun!!

We had a jam packed day of fun at our annual Christmas party.  First we exchanged our 6 inch squares of fabric for our friendship quilt.  Our members traded fabric and the quilt we make will hopefully be shown at our annual Christmas in July party.

We have outgrown our room and have started a second group on Friday from 10:00 to ??  The ladies from our second group turned out to be the lucky ones and won all the door prizes.

Our Show and Tell was fabulous, with the newly formed, Sit, Stitch and Sew group in attendance.  Some of us had our french braid quilts from the retreat.  We also collected underwear and wash cloths for Sister Visitor.  We also had a lot of fun exchanging squares for a quilt we will make and show at the Christmas in July party.

What a Brain Storming Session we had for our 5 months planning!

We had enough suggestions to last for 3 years.  But, from this long list, majority rules as we selected some pretty interesting things to do.  Once again our group proves what an active and vibrant group we are.  This second half of the year's calendar is very well paced, this quilter thinks, with a good balance of field trips and learning opportunities.  


The focus of our group is now and has always been finishing what we have started.  That is why the majority of our time is spent in our regular meetings, which are Sit 'N Sew.  This generally means you bring in our own project and work on it.  We have a wealth of information in the club that people are willing to share.  So if you are stumped, bring your problem in and we will try to help you figure it out.  Even basic quilting/sewing information can be answered in this group.

Good Food! what's is better than a pot luck lunch with a bunch of quilters doing the cooking?  I ask you? 

Good Times!  We played a Chinese game in which you chose the wrapped gift.  Everyone seemed to want the biggest one.

Beautiful Quilts!
