Merry Christmas Everyone!

We had a small gathering today at Jillian’s with some show & tell:

Jilians_african_quilt

Jillian purchased this stunning quilt on a holiday in South Africa. It has all sorts of embellishments on it and is a wonderful reminder of her time there.

Ellen has made this quilt from lovely batik fabrics – it looks beautiful.

alisons_xmas_runner

Alison made this Christmas themed table runner from a pattern in Quilting Arts Holiday issue 2008.

This will be our last meeting for this year as many people are heading off home or on holiday. Have an enjoyable Christmas & New Year and a safe time everyone.

Christmas Lunch

We had a lovely day at Janice’s for our annual Christmas celebration. Unfortunately a lot of the photos were lost, but we have managed to uncover these:

The hat designing and making was fun – thanks Janice for organising this – some wonderful creations were made – sadly just a memory now.

We did however enjoy decorating some little gingerbread folk and hopefully the neighbours enjoyed our singing of some traditional Carols.

Thank you Janice for your kind hospitality and everyone who provided such wonderful delicacies for us to consume!
