December 2013 Christmas Party

 Fellowship Quilters met last week for their Christmas Party at the Elks.  We had a good turn out of about 35 members despite the snowy weather and cold temps.  We are a hearty bunch of quilting ladies.
We had a great show and tell with Christmas treasures as well as some new projects from members.
I took pictures of "us " instead of our projects.  What a great bunch of ladies we are!!

Lots of smiling faces!!!

 We had a guest..Sally Hanley from the Grand  Traverse Baby Pantry.  She came to lunch and then took our donations of hand made projects as well as diapers and clothing to stock the pantry.  A great way for us to give back to the community.  We do not meet till the end of January but remember the work bee that is the second Tuesday of January.

November Fellowship Quilters

November brought many quilters out with the promise of a great program.  We created an art wall quilt...with help from our fearless leader Della.
It was a fun time and as many people did not finish  the quilt on the left is one Della made.  I am sure that by next meeting we will have many more creative examples!!!
The December 10th meeting will be our lunch at the Elks. It is always a fun time with our donation to the Grand Traverse Baby Pantry going over the top as usual.  It is so great to see all the Christmas ideas that members create to celebrate the season.  Hope to see lots of you  there!
The January work Bee will be Heart Pillows and hot pads for the meals on wheels folks.
Prayers to several members and their families.

              Connie, Dianne, Della and Judy going over the plans for December...what great smiles!!

                                       The quilt above is Della's also..a 3D version that really pops

                              Joy is using COLOR in her art quilt...can't wait to see the results

                       Linda and Carol looking over Ruth's sewing...I think they approve!

 One of the block of the month quilts to have in reserve for members in need..great job ladies!  Below is a beautiful quilt by Bev..love how each square is different and the border material is what she started with!!

I hope this finds all of you well and getting ready to enjoy the Holiday Season....Kathy
