July General Meeting

We had great fun during our Christmas in July program.  Five members were gracious enough to give demos on making handmade Christmas ornaments.

Linda whipstitched pieces together for this elegant beauty while Lynne shared some of her paper pieced  creations.

Joan used folded fabric and trim for these wonderful ornaments and Sandra had a new take on Santa.

Our tireless Anita shared this woven hearts ornament/basket that could be used not just for Christmas but for Valentines Day or any number of things.

After the meeting Anita led our bravest members in a new Christmas challenge. The idea was to exchange names and fabrics, and by Christmas time have a beautiful Christmas item for the name that you chose. Can't wait to see what our members come up with.

December General Meeting

If it's December it must be potluck time. As usual we had our Holiday Potluck where we got to do a lot of my second favorite thing in the world (after quilting of course). Our members didn't disappoint this year - there were plenty of things to satisfy the soul and plenty more to feel guilty about. I believe that a good time was had by all.

Afterwards we had a handmade pincushion exchange. Below are some of the creative efforts offered by the members.
