December Events & January info

The most exciting thing that happened was our visit from Mrs. Claus.

She was instructed to keep us in line during our pot luck supper.

And then she made sure we voted fairly, and only once, for our favorite challenge project.

Afterwards we started on our holiday craft activity.

What the heck???...

OK, getting a little closer.  It just needs a button and a hanging string.

If you'd like to see some that were properly made you'll have to go to Pinterest. 😁

JANUARY 8, 2020

Meeting starts at 7 pm.  Bring your coffee mug, your show 'n share, any library books that are due back, and your baggie of charm squares (if you're in the swap group).
The program will be a trunk show by Bernadette Forbes.

December will be the Pot Luck

I have no pics from the November meeting - I was away at a quilting retreat enjoying some fellowship and sewing with my longarm buddies.  The guest speaker was Kathleen O'Flaherty of Quilts & Shenanigans.  You can find her page on Facebook.

December 11th at 6 pm will be our Pot Luck Supper.
Note the earlier time!!  
If you cannot make it for dinner, our regular meeting will commence at 7 pm, as usual.
