Christmas 2015

 Happy Holiday's to all the festive Fellowship Quilters!!
We had a great holiday gathering a few weeks ago to celebrate the joy and wonder of the season.  I think we all felt the  fellowship that our group incorporates in our name.
It is wonderful to be part of a loving and supportive group that has such talent and creativity!
We are a group that is so giving of our talent and the diverse projects we produce.   Most of the beautiful projects in the pictures below are gifts...that says tons!
I forgot to let all of you know we gave a quilt to Deb who works in the office of the church as she is starting chemotherapy for cancer.  Keep her and her family in your prayers this holiday season.
We also signed Christmas cards to send to members under the weather and who are no longer living in our area.  We miss all of them very much.  I also forgot to read a thank you note from the director of the Grand Traverse Baby Pantry...I will do it in January.
Chris made this jacket with the fantastic applique!
The show and tell this month was inspirational as usual.

 Sue made this bag and adorable stacked tree.

 Look at this stack and wack...each one is so different and make a stunning quilt!

 Judy had two great holiday projects.  The tree below has tiny lights inside and is really unique!

 Connie does wonders with wool and the quilt above is further proof.  She says she has to decide how to quilt it...hand or by machine.  Either will be stunning.

 Yours truly had two projects to show...the quilt above for new granddaughter.  Made in the strip pattern we did several months ago.  A second similar quilt is in the works for the second new granddaughter.  The Santa below is a wall hanging for a dear friend.

 Ruth made this cute duck quilt from some material she got from Marcia...adorable and Marcia is surely smiling in heaven .   We miss you Marcia!!   Great job Ruth!!

 Barb made this table runner and it is just beautiful.

 Joy made a cute table topper for Christmas.

 Betty finished her round robin wall hanging.  She did the square in the middle and others added the borders.  Such a great job by all of them.

 Judy made these emmeline bags that have a snap opening along with a zipper.  They are very cute and make wonderful gifts.  Hers are all going to very lucky people.  Check out the free pattern at

 I took pictures of all the festively dressed members but will not put  in all the names.  There were lots of red sweaters and smiles!  We aren't even drinking wine!!

 We had a delicious lunch prepared by the students of TBA.  They came in at the end and sang us a verse of We Wish You a Merry Christmas.  Great end to a great luncheon.

 Judy did a spectacular job of planning our  party with Pat and her other elves to help.  We had a drawing for a bunch of presents and Pat S. was the first to get a gift.  Our smiles say it all...we are a group who take the fellowship of our name seriously and share the love with each other.
I hope everyone has a great holiday season and enjoy their family and friends.  See you in January.
