There was a little bit of snow on the ground the morning of the November meeting. To quilters, snow means the beginning of quilting season! (what else do people do in the winter?)
Hopefully show and tell inspires everyone to work on their own projects!

Sincerest apologies to Mary Ellen, and to all of you who didn't get to see these up close! Mary Ellen made these houses as part of the "Global Murmurs" exhibit. They are really special and very well done! I hope she will show them next year!

Connie Grimsley and her sister visit a Ben Franklin store in (South Dakota? Nebraska?) when they visit family. The store does an annual challenge, in which Connie entered this small quilt. Ig won an honorable mention in the piecing category.
I'm very sorry- I had a "senior moment" when I went to each demo station and I didn't get pictures. The demos were all well prepared and interesting! If you ask them, I bet they'd share with you:
Lorraine West made scrappy strip-pieced leaves
Mary Ellen Casey showed how to make ornaments using a circle attachment.
Nancy Ellers shared a curved piecing technique for an apple core quilt
Shirley Lapp showed how to make a portable design surface.
Mary Kozub reminded us that time is running short to make your entry in the "Naughty or Nice" challenge- due at the January meeting. Surely this time of year there is plenty of inspiration for naughty and/or nice!
Remember challenge rules:
Quilts can be no larger than 180" circumference.
Quilts must have been made for this challenge.
Up to 2 entries per person.
Home dec and apparel welcome!
Quilts will hang in the Richmond Memorial Library in February.
Next month is the annual Christmas party. You will all need a dish to pass and your own table service. Remember to think brunch when you choose your dish to pass, and please bring a list of ingredients to put with your dish.
