Christmas Banquet 2016

Image
We did it up right at the All Seasons for our Christmas Banquet...lots of good food, a wonderful atmosphere and good companions ...who could ask for more? Here's Cheryl starting off our Show and tell with her Christmas table runner made from half hexies...works great and looks great!  Madeline is hiding behind her version of the half hexie table runner...amazing how wonderful they all can look. Pat showed us her folded wreath candle mat..soo pretty!  Susan showed off her row by row  block of the month...with requests for the pattern location...so Christmasy JoAnne, who has the ideal job of all jobs in a fabric/wine shop...showed her version of the half hexie and what could be done with it.

Marlene is hiding behind this "lap" quilt she made for her hubby...he decided he needed one larger than average lap quilt so being the good wife she is she complied.  Bet he likes it a lot! This is the latest Chemo Quilt just finished this morning by the nimble fingers of our quilting ladies. Elsie got her block of he month  first row by row squares done and is all ready for the next installment. Bea made this wonderful baby panel quilt...wonder who it is for?  Leigh is getting her PHD's done...this one is through the door?  Another PHD...great way to use up scraps and clean up the ever expanding stash...who are we kidding, it just keeps growing.. Susan claims she is not a bag lady but I think she secretly want to join the ranks and here's proof.  Well done, Susan. A new technique...row by row and quilt as you go.  Ended up looking absolutely great, even if she says she won't do another one that large. Judith got into her crafting mode an
