Christmas Party - 2013

Cherri was the lucky first one to pick a gift in our annual gift exchange. What a lovely scarf made by Barbara! Cherri needed the scarf this week as our temperatures dropped to the low 20s.


Jatana came all the way from Austin and look at the great gifts she received from Darlene.
Sandy guarded her gifts from Cathy like her life depended on it!
Cherri and Kay admire the beautiful blown glass ornaments that Debbie received from Jatana!
Louise got a load of neat stuff!
Bea looks warm in her bright red scarf from Evelyn.
Barbara received a really beautiful quilt from Bea! But is was gone in the blink of an eye!
Barbara had to give up her quilt to Dee.
Not to fear . . . she got some lovely gifts from Jewell.
Evelyn got this beauty of a table topper.
Cathy got these beautiful pillow 'slips' (that is pillow 'cases' to all of us but Sandy). These were made by Sandy. This one is for fall.
This one is for spring!
Sue got a DVD - The Life of Pi - a great movie.
Jewell is busy opening her gift.
Dee came all the way from Canada and got fat quarters and home made ornaments from Debbie.
Darlene got one of those terrific lights from Ikea! We love those lights!
Oops, Cathy stole from Dee.
Louise stole from Evelyn.
Evelyn had to pick again!
Billie got the neat quilt rack from Cherri and some home canned goodies!
Cathy wearing her fat quarters so no one will steal them. Glad she didn't put them down her pants, although she did threaten to do that in order to keep them!!
Last but not least, Kay was the last to pick since Cherri decided to keep her first choice gift.
Can't say I know what is so funny, but we all had lots of laughs, as always/
Jatana looked very festive in her lights and top-knot!
Jewell gave Barbara the quilt Barbara lost! We all were teary-eyed. Jewell is a jewel.
Last minute good-byes.
Time to clean up and go home!
Here's to another great Christmas Party! And in the words of Tiny Tim,
"God bless us, every one!"

November Meeting 2013

Another of Darlene's quilts . . . this time she used the log cabin blocks. Another beauty!
Debbie make this wall handing at a mini-retreat with her Dallas group. Can you believe this, too is the good ole' log cabin block? Very versatile . . .
Cathy is showing a quilt she made from the "Austin Modern Quilt Guild' block exchange. Who would have thought orange and blue would look so awesome!
This is the back of Cathy's 'modern quilt'.
