Thank you to Rachel, Sheila, Mary and Becky F for providing refreshments
Carol reported that she and Lisa bought fabric for the Shriner's raffle quilt at the 30% off Forget-Me-Knot sale. Now all we have to do is cut, sew, sandwich and hand quilt! Lisa is cutting kits and will have them ready after the first of the year. More about that in January and/or February.
The tables were arranged in a U shape and everyone seemed to be happy with the layout. It's nice to look at people across the way instead of the back of their head!.
Committee reports:
Charity quilts - Anne said we can always use fabric
Refreshments - Julia passed around a sign up sheet for next year
Demo - Janice has demos lined up through February
We voted on specific food items for the Christmas dinner -
Roast beef , fried chicken, green beans, broccoli and mashed potatoes. The meal also includes rolls, pie, tea and coffee.
Sit and Sew was held at Mary L's house. There were 12 of us. We have fun. We share our different techniques and it's fun to see what others are working on.
Officer's and Committee chairperson's were elected. Refer to Carol's earlier e-mail.
Jeannie suggested forming a "Shriner's quilt" committee.
During break, Darlene and Janice showed us how to make a "Two Seam" purse. Thank you for bring sewing machines so we could actually make one!
Show and Tell - Anne's "Fun and Done" quilt class participants showed their finished projects and as usual, all the other projects that were shared were fabulous.
Door prizes were won.

I've enjoyed the past two years of documenting our meetings. It's time to pass the pen, and I'm delighted to pass it to Bea!
Have a great Thanksgiving and hope to see you ALL at our Christmas dinner.
