Marley was dead, to begin with. There is no doubt whatever about that. Old Marley was as dead as a door-nail.
A Christmas Carol, by Charles Dickens
Saturday was my guild's last meeting of the year, and also our annual Christmas party. We celebrated with holiday music, and gifts, and hugs, and games, and certificates, and door prizes. We got to see friends we hadn't seen for a very long time - including two members who came all the way from Georgia and California just to help us celebrate!
At every Christmas party, everyone is encouraged to bring a favorite dish, so there's always an abundance of great food. From the main dishes ...
we enjoyed every crumb!
But before that, we had a wonderful eye candy banquet, in the form of show and share. I've chosen a few from the many quilts that were shared.
Angela was very clever - she combined two retreat round robin projects into one lovely quilt. Front ...
and back ...
Charley finished her HST challenge that's due in September 2018!
Jennifer's sampler. Visit Jennifer's Chronicles to see more of her work!
Cynthia is very fond of miniatures ...
A lovely fish quilt, front...

Katherine shared her portrait of an African male (above) and her watermelon quilt (below). She gave a lively and informative "tell" regarding African Americans and the watermelon stereotype.
Jackie's getting creative again ...
and scrappy!
And so another great year goes down in guild history, here's looking forward to an even greater year! Have a wonderful Monday, sew forth and sew on...
Thanks for sharing all the talent from your guild. The one with the zebra border caught my attention the most but all were pretty
ReplyDeleteI can't help feel a wee bit of envy as my group is now down to just four at our holiday celebration... moving back to their home country and ageing out. Looks like great fun.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing — such wonderful eye candy. And now I’m really hungry after seeing all that yummy food.
