December 2024 - Happy Holidays
The guild gathered together for the annual holiday party. We had snacks, played games and ended with a gift exchange that was full of laughter and stolen gifts. In the end it is all about sharing our passion for quilting with others and learning new skills.
Sew and Share (photos will be added in a few days)
Joan - she caught the wonky star fever and made two table runners from her stash. She also made some project bags for her daughter.
Leslie- also is working on a quilt with wonky stars. She was looking for some suggestions on quilting. She also shared a quilt made for Quilts for Kids.
Gay- showed a holiday Trip Around the World quilt and a table runner for a friend. She sought some advice on dealing with fabrics that bleed. Using color catchers even with fabric that had been prewashef, especially older reds was suggested. That and keeping the quilt wet while you figure out a solution.
She also knitted the cutest beanies for her 4 great nephews.
Cordell- made placemats and used different quilting designs to add interest.
We then played several rounds of Quiltagorirs (similar to Scattagories). Thinking of words late at night is harder than it should be, Winners of each round won holiday themed charm squares.
