December 2019 Meeting Highlights

12/13/2019

 
We celebrated the holiday season at our annual potluck dinner meeting on December 11.

Thank you to our members who brought along some of their holiday quilts to decorate the hall.

There were lots of red sweaters and Christmas themed jewelry to add to the festivity.

Thank you to the members with surnames A-L who brought the varied delicious dishes for the potluck.

A Guild Sewing Machine
​

President Frank unveiled a newly acquired sewing machine for the guild. It's a basic Pfaff model and will be much appreciated by the members doing the break time demonstrations at our meetings, who will longer have to haul in their own machines in addition to the supplies for their demos. It will also be very handy at our hands-on sewing meetings. Thank you Mary deVries for the suggestion, Vickie for acquiring it, and to Nancy (Sew Inspired).

Black & White Block Exchange
​
After dinner the people participating in the Black and White Challenge distributed their blocks to the other people in their groups. The 43 participants in this challenge were divided into 4 groups,  so each quilter made either 10 or 11 blocks to distribute among their group.

Entertainment
​
Anne Cruickshank led another round of the annual game featuring Anne's story about fictitious quilter Jenny Right. The fat quarter and lovely thread prizes were passed to the right, left, and across the table at a whirlwind speed as we heard those 3 words in the story. At the end the happy winners were holding their prizes. Thanks Anne!

And thank you Joyce for a funny story that rang true with many of us!

Our meeting wrapped up with the draws and as usual, some very happy winners!
