Christmas Banquet 2014

Image
 Our Christmas banquet was held at the All Season's Restaurant and we had a wonderful Chinese/Canadian buffett....hot,cold, tasty,and lots of food...we all rolled home like well stuffed pillows. Here are the ladies anxiously awaiting the great food. Ha, Jeannie was trying to hide but Dawn figured it out and grinned anyway.  Come on Food!!!!! Lilliane made this table runner.  The Christmas panel is a Norman Rockwell who could do Christmas scenes like no one else.  Hiding behind this wonderful redwork is Vera Turner. I didn't know she did redwork...and so well, too.  Susan Snyder made her Three Dudes table topper and tried her hand at machine quilting. I think she was pleased with how well it turned out.  Here's a gorgeous quilt that reminded me of a Christmas Cactus.  It was hand quilted by Susan ....in a HOOP!..Great job, there Susan.  Carolyn has been busy getting ready for Christmas gifting.  Here a sweet pair of jammies.  and a cuddle onesie

 Program day....we started in the morning and Agathe got her's all done and here she is waiting for the afternoon entertainment....we'll get there! This is the Scrappy nine patch that Ann made and is kindly going to show us all how to make it in January's program day.  Remember to have your (5 " squares) nine patches all sewn and ready to go.  If you want to put in the "leading" for that stained glass look ...for a king sized top like this one you will need 3.5 meters of a dark (or light) fabric...adjust accordingly for smaller.  I can't wait to make this...I love scrappy quilts. Carolyn got her vest finished and it is gorgeous.  She said she prefers the other side but this one looks absolutely wonderful as well. Lillian made this sweet snowman wall hanging....the picture does not do the colours justice.  Vera wore her vest today as well...they sure turned out great...knew I should've taken that class!! Here's Judy with one of he

Gillian is making aprons to be sent off to Uganda...what a generous lady!  Lillian did her Block of the Month from last year in gorgeous jewel tones.  Great Job, Lilliane!  She also made this wonderful table topper of Santa's Helpers.  Love this little owl wall hanging. The music sheets are 3D and have Silent NIght in English on two of them and one has it in French...bi-lingual owls.. Susan did some more applique, pattern found in Quiltmaker magazine. This is another quilt she made from Quiltmaker magazine...wonder if she has a subscription??? Marlene is trying to use up her Christmas fabrics....wonder if she knows they multiply when you cut them up for scrappy quilts. The following three pictures are of the other toppers she made.  If you are wondering, this is not Catness Everdin from the Hunger Games...it is Judy in her crocheted Catness sweater.  Jean got to work and make Chemo caps....a lot of them... in flannel, fleece and cotton.  She
