We had a lovely time at our Christmas Banquet held at All Season's Restaurant....a great buffet of Canadian and Chinese food. The atmosphere is always nice there and the service is excellent.
We moved over to this half of the dining hall for our show and tell and for our program for the evening.
Marilyn started the show and tell with this scarf/shawl she knit for her daughter...she's hoping to get her own back...mother's of daughters...we know where you are coming from.
Ann brought in these wonderful Christmas decorations from a while back....
Marlene quilted this panel and did a lovely job...as usual for her.
Vera got into making these fabric snowflakes from program day last week..
Judy brought in mittens she had made a few years back. These had fleece inside and quilting on the outside.
She also brought in some tatting to show...needless to say she has been asked to teach the technique to a few eager learners.
This beauty was made by Jean Thompson...love the colours.
Jacqui is back quilting and made this gorgeous black and white....Agathe quilted it for her ....
along with this pineapple quilt.
She also made some snowflakes, some bells and some origami ornaments. Hard to keep a good woman down....
Muriel was having some fun with wool and knit matching touques for her son's family in Ottawa. They will look wonderful all together...
Leigh got hooked on those big fabric snowflakes as well....here are a couple all done.
A little blurry but This is a doll quilt that Ethel's grand daughter requested...not shown is another of those bags she was making.
Susan has been busy....interestingly enough, she wasn't sure how to quilt this one so she turned it over and quilted circles ...it worked...makes for an interesting design on the front.
She won fat quarters at the Villa Madonna this spring and this is what she made to show. Colours sure worked well!
This snowman runner is a Fat Cat Pattern....Susan is also a fan of Sindy Rodenmeyer.
The request came in and Gillian responded. Here are four toe covers for patients in casts. Such a caring person is our Gillian.
Renate made this mantel or window cover...gave it as a gift then asked for it back to bring to show and tell. Don't worry , it is going back where it belongs.
She also made some of the ornaments from program day and proudly showed them off.
Judith brought her origami ornament......
and her tree napkins to show and tell.
Gail brought her finished mittens made from a sweater.....recycle and reuse at its best.
Jeannie got her snowman wall hanging done ...her skinny snowman, that is.....
along with a table runner of snowmen...or should we say snowpersons.
We had a wonderful evening with an ornament swap....I managed to keep the chocolate filled pudding bag...lucky me! Then we had a fat quarter game that was fun. Muriel led us in a raucous and lively rendition of the twelve days of Christmas with a new perspective...it was fun.
Merry Christmas to all and Happy New Year! See you then......
