December's meeting was our annual 'Christmas Bash'.
We had our usual Faith Supper with lots of good food being provided by the members.
Kate showed us how to make Christmas Stars which proved more tricky and 'sticky' than we had expected.
Plus an old friend and ex member joined us with her daughter. Unfortunately Jean is getting quite disabled and can no longer sew as she would like, therefore she is trying to sort out her sewing acquisitions including her considerable stash of material. For a small cash sum which will be donated to our local hospice, we were fortunate enough to have first pick of these goodies.
Then there was the 'Secret Santa'. Presents for everyone.
All this took up more time than we had anticipated so the quiz will be saved for another meeting. Probably the AGM next year.

For the January meeting, our speaker will be Phillipa  Naylor, award winning quilter and author who will be bringing copies of her latest book hot off the press. A good start to 2015.

MERRY CHRISTMAS

November's meeting was fantastic.
Our speaker Brioni Greenberg makes wonderful quilts and she brought a whole load of them for us to admire. Her choice of colour is stunning and unusual. All I could say at the end of her talk was WOW....
There are some photos in the meeting review section. I suggest you take a peek.

December is our Christmas Party. We will have our usual Faith Supper alongside Secret Santa, and The Christmas Quiz. Kate Smith will also teach us how to make a simple star decoration.  I am hoping to hang mine on our Christmas tree so I will take a photo and show you what it looks like later.
Merry Christmas Everybody
