CR Quilters December meeting

Tuesday December 9th at 10 am

CR Quilters. The December party. Not much lecture this time but as always lots of show+tell.

Janet had a lot to share. One more beautiful then the other.

This is a "Row x Row"

Margaret shared with us her Stack+Whack crazy quilt. Another example of the effect of your choice of fabrics. I love it!

Motoko was a step ahead because she used Janet's directions from the November meeting and started her Sudoku Puzzle Quilt. What an interesting selection of fabric.We discussed what choice sashing might be best.

We talked about the passed year, our first year as a group. We thanked those who had given one of the monthly lessons. They had first dip into the box of gifts I had for everybody. Actually, they were allowed to double-dip. A Danish woven heart made from fabric for everybody. It's a traditional Christmas tree ornament. You can put candy into it.

Here are some of the leftovers.

We had decided to share hors d'oeuvres but no gifts. I thought that the left/right game had been so much fun (at my lacemakers meeting) that I brought one gift and read the story. The gift went forth and back and all around and ... ended up with Motoko exactly where it had started. It was fun!

The snacking afterwards was great too. Jane (the oldest in our group with 89) had the great idea to make the recipe of this year's Pillsbury bake-off winner. Since the winner was a resident of Richmond the story was featured in the newspaper. And hats off to Jane!

I think we all had great fun!

I am looking forward to the meetings in 2015.

On December 23 I received a thank-you email from Motoko with this photo of her winning in use. She is enjoying it.
