Hi! Well it appears we have a few changes to make after our meeting last night. It was sure good to be back. I have to say I sure miss all of you.
Linda made the fare for the night and, as it was a very cool fall evening, the dinner was perfect, Baked Potato Soup with all the trimmings of a baked potato to put into it. It was fabulous. Randi complimented the meal with her carrot cake cupcakes which were frosted with the helping hands of Helen and topped with mini chocolate chips, also very delicious and to top it all off we had lemonade for drinks just to remind us summer has left. Many thanks to the chefs.
I was on line the other day and went to our blog. I was blown away by the notes from
Well for starters our meeting for December will be on the 14th. No mistake, December 14th at Helen's. In JANUARY it will change. Our meetings will now be on the 4th (FOURTH) Tuesday, that's TUESDAY of each month from then on.
Also December’s meeting means our challenge quilts no matter how big, small or how far done, must be in ok? Also we have a list of who is bringing what and if you weren't there for some reason just bring what you like. Here goes:
Helen - bread, entrée
Linda - dessert
Peggy & Trish - entrée & dessert
Margie – jello salad
Carol - something from "Julia's" book entrée
Randi - (I missed it :( )
Rita - drinks
Dawn – green salad
Don't forget our gift exchange $10.00 gift. Rules for the exchange: gifts can only exchange 3x - no steal backs immediately after it is taken away and you can't take your own.
We received a letter from Donna and she said she will be coming back, but after she has had sometime to get life on track again. She and Corky are doing better. Glad to hear, we look forward to your return.
Quilt Show at the DeYoung museum in
Show n Tell - I (Carol) finally got a few things done and
brought them in for show n 
tell.
Dawn brought in a quilt she was doing for a little girl, then changed her mind and kept it but... she made another one for the little girl. I really liked her dancer one, I guess it was the colors. The other is perfect for a child the colors were bright and happy.
Helen showed a beautiful vest she made, child's sundress and a table quilt for a very long table, beautiful though.
Linda did a beautiful vintage apron for her daughter from a
vintage tablecloth her mom had used. It turned out adorable, with a chicken on the front of the bib and a cow on the reverse side of the bib all quilted.
Rita brought homework for us, something to do with color charts. I think I'm supposed to know what I'm doing but I don't think I do. I guess I need to read it all. We can fill in the color circles with fabric if you like. Not due till January meeting. Remember when? That's the 4th Tuesday, January 26th 2010. Can't believe another year is almost gone. Wow! a lot has happened this year.
Dawn did a great demonstration for us, showing how to make rag rugs from quilt scraps. She cuts a generous amount when squaring up her fabric and tosses the strip into a bag. When she squares up her quilt top she does the same, saving the excess backing fabric to crochet into her rug. We were dazzled by her colorful rugs and want more!!! Maybe we can even have a rag rug meeting, with everyone working on a project with Dawn right there, on hand to help us out is we get stuck. Thank you Dawn!
Don't forget next meeting December 14th at Helen's. Bring your QUILT challenge, your GIFT, and your FOOD.
Meeting adjourned 7:50PM.
See you next meeting - keep B-z-z-z-z-z-z-z-,
Carol
