Another Day Another Christmas Party


I am officially finished all customer quilts that I needed before Christmas. This is another quilt that is made using mostly Kaffe Fassett fabrics. This quilt belongs to Diann.

Yesterday was the Christmas Luncheon for my Baltimore Album Bee Plus.

The luncheon was hosted by Elaine in her beautiful home.
I believe every room in her house was decorated for Christmas.


Everyone brought a dish to share and the food was FANTASTIC.
Before the meal Elaine blessed it with a very beautiful prayer.


Me and Elaine at the table.

This Bee has the best group of ladies. I am so blessed to be a part of it.


Before lunch we did a little hand stitching and a lot of talking.

More Christmas Partying

Yes, this month I have been doing more partying than quilting.


Yesterday my Bible Study Group had a Christmas Luncheon at Peg's house. Everything; the fellowship, the food, the decorations, the home, the hospitality was out of this world

Quilting for Christmas


Yesterday I finally got this Christmas quilt quilted. 

I still need to  bind it and put on the berry buttons. This is the first time I did the all-over ribbon.

On this quilt it was also the first time I quilted the pine needles. Hopefully I will get it bound this coming week.

Today I finished quiting my husband's Christmas present.

The quilting features deer, elk, and moose.

After I get it bound I will post pictures of the entire quilt finished.

Another Christmas Party; Another Day of No Quilting


Bayside Quilters of the Eastern Shore had their Christmas Party today. As always we had a lot of fun and a lot of food. We played several games. The first game was "Baby Faces." We were asked to send in a picture as a child, preferably at Christmas. I found this one taken when I was 11. There were 24 participants. We had to match the person with their picture. I think a lot of the ladies were able to guess mine for 2 reason. First of all it was the only color picture and secondly a lot of them thought my 13 year old daughter looks like me.


The next game was "Christmas Sweater Contest." The winner was Jeanne (center). Sandy and Alice were 2nd and 3rd.


The next game was "Last Quilter Standing." When something was said that was true for you, you had to sit down.


Pat was one of the first ones down because she has no UFOs. She was the only one to sit for that statement.
How can you not have any UFOs?


Ruth was the only one to sit down for having only one sewing machine
.

Irene had to sit because she has sewn over her finger with her sewing machine.


Carole was the winner of  "Last Quilter Standing."


Sherry won a basket of goodies for selling the winning raffle ticket.

The rest are pictures of the Sweater Parade.
