Christmas Banquet 2016

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.
Jacqui finished her challenge for the Chemo quilt project and we decided to divert it to the fire quilt comfort project...where there is a need right now.
Then she showed us her hubby's request for a quilt of his own....we've all been there, right?
 This one will be an heirloom...pieced by one sister, quilted by another and about to be bound by another.....definitely a keeper!
Cindy got a little surprise from Jacqui....she is a Coca-Cola fan.  Not from the original debut of the Coca-Cola Santa , but certainly since she first saw it, at least and here is another piece she can add to her collection...made by Jacqui...the candle even has the Coke logo.  I think she liked it!  Just a note here, Cindy has been so supportive of our guild...with discounts, special orders and always a little thank you to the members...it's a good thing that we have her.
 Here's Vivian's folded wreath...hard to believe she is 99 years old...puts us all to shame with her enthusiasm for life.
Judith is making miniatures again...traditional  patterns too.
 This lovely quilt is being donated to the guild...it will find a home for sure...how thoughtful of Judith!
Ann brought in this gorgeous round the twist pattern ...I think there may be some fussy cutting involved.
 Elsie made this beautiful folded wreath.
Ethel has been busy making placemat sets of four for gifts.....
 along with table runners.....
and this great log cabin...she claimed the fabrics were of a mature age...they're always the best anyway!
 Leigh is welcoming an infant into her extended family and nothing would do but this wonderful, soft, pastel baby quilt...seems fitting, don't you agree?
Wendy brought her snowman with his plaid scarf..well done!
 Linda brought her snowman as well, this one has ear muffs as well.
Renate wanted to bring a quilt to show but the recipient refused to let her take it back, even for an evening...guess he likes it a lot...so she brought her folded wreath to show...looks great!
Vera made another one, since the one she made before is doing duty on her table. Pretty colours, Vera.
Along with this gorgeous table topper...I believe it is a Patrick Lose pattern.
 Jean brought her folded wreath....
two mermaid blankets...wonder who they are for?.....
 and this really neat quilt made from the strips she won at strip poker that we played at the Villa Madonna...and if you are wondering...she did keep her clothes on!
Last but not least, look at this wonderful row by row mystery quilt that Dawn got finished. She did a wonderful job and you can tell by the grin she is happy with her work...so are we.

Merry Christmas everyone and we shall see you in the New Year!
