November 2011 Meeting

Our meeting was held at the home of our new President, Diana.  You can tell  just by looking at her that she’s a wild and crazy fun lady.

Here she is showing us the pattern we will be making for the charity quilt for our annual quilt show in September.

Attendance was down just a bit, but it was good to see a  few ladies who had not been able to attend  for a while.

Lynda,  Sue, Pam, and Cathy

Sylvia

Amanda

Rae Ann was not able to attend, but those who had finished their blocks of the month got their names put in for a drawing.

Guess who the lucky winner was?  Yup, that would be me!  A very cute schnibbles pattern, thanks Rae Ann!

Show and Tell was a real show stopper.  Sue had been working her little heart out.

She had made her ‘Winter Wonderland’ quilt in blue work instead of red.  Isn’t it cute?

She made this sweet heart quilt using the free house stitcheries given by Broadbents.

I love this heartfelt sentiment she stitched in the center.

I know by now you’re thinking, “Does this woman ever sleep?”

Look  how fun the back is.

No, that’s not all.  I think there were five total.  Does this look familiar?  This is the panel piece that Joylyn gave to each of us that went to the retreat.  I have not even pulled mine out and looked at it since.  Boy does this lady know how to shame a gal!

Amanda is a new member of our guild.  Love this quilt with the flying geese.

Have to show those backs.  They’re almost as cute as the front.

She had also made this darling Halloween quilt.  This was a new pattern just put out this year.  She quilted it herself and did a fantastic job!

I love that center stitchery.  It’s done with a fun new technique using crayons.

Cute, cute backing print.

Diana showed a row of her ‘Grandmothers Garden’ quilt.  Amanda, Cathy, and I are making this quilt also.

Lynda and Cathy had a different kind of show and tell.  Darling new little grand babies.

Look at all that hair!

Business was discussed.  It was decided that we would wait to go to the retreat until  September.

Members  signed up for charity quilt blocks.

Then everyone departed with a yummy lemon bar and a smile on their face.

In December we will have our Christmas luncheon.  A wonderful meal amongst great friends!
