The November 14th meeting was surprisingly well attended with lots of final end of the year decisions to be made.
The decision on what two choices to eat at the Wildcat Cafe for the Christmas dinner will be smothered chicken and a philly wrap. As a reminder the dinner will be at 6:00 pm at the Wildcat Connections Cafe in downtown New London. With the gift exchange and desserts held at Lynette's.
Hometown Holidays sales table will be at the New London United Methodist Church parlor on December 1. 2012. Guild members can bring in your items to the parlor at 8:00 am. Please have your items all ready priced for sale. Lastly shifts were given to members who could help out with the sale. If you do not remember your shift time contact Yvonne. Lastly if any members have any spare grocery bags in good condition that can be spared please bring them to the sale.
For the 1 Million Pillowcase Challenge a donation destination for the pillowcases was found. All pillowcases will be sent to Pillows of Hope in Cincinnati, where the Pillows of Hope organization will donate all the pillowcases to Cincinnati Children's Hospital.
Next was how the progress of our service project. All the nine patches and snowballs have been pieced together thanks to Marlene. Thank you Marlene! Now it is ready to have a border added and finally quilted.
There were some left over nine patches that were left overs and there is still an interest to put them to use in another quilt. In order to continue on more nine patches are still in need.
Lastly in the order of business for this meeting officers were elected or reelected in this case for the 2013 year. All officers were appointed and excepted their nominations. As of to date all officers from 2012 still hold the same positions as before.
Show and tell
There were a couple of members who had some items to share. Starting with Chris P. Chris had gotten into the holiday spirit. Here is a fall pumpkin wall hanging...
A Let it Snow snowman wall hanging....
And a Christmas tree table runner!
Here is a closer look at the tree and Chris's quilting. Nice Job Chris!!!
Doris has even gotten into the holiday spirit as well! Doris had made two Carrie Nation Christmas quilts.
Both quilts are done in the same color scheme but with different prints!
Doris even made a wall hanging where you can store Christmas cards, candy canes, and a few other small Christmas goodies!
See those pockets! They are quite handy for sure! What a clever idea!
The last items to share from Doris was these Christmas coasters.
If you like them and love them you might find them at the sales table for Hometown Holidays!
Well, that is all that we have for now. Hope to see you at the Hometown Holidays!
Happy Quilting and Sewing!
