December 2014 Highlights

This month the PMQG wrapped up a successful year with a party! Members shared their favorite holiday dishes and bid on some great gifts in our Chinese Auction.

We had THREE tables of auction goodies to bid on!

Our jolly MCs – Lois & Pat

Lots of happy winners!
More presents for Secret Pals!












Members also revealed their creative “This is My Modern Quilt” Challenge quilts.  The challenge was to use only one print and unlimited solids to modernize an old favorite or create a new design. These quilts and more will be on display at the Mid-Atlantic Quilt Festival in February. Great job, everyone!

















Some of our numbers for 2014:
25 members and counting!
66 “peapod” blankets for the NICU

90+ hats made for the homeless
140 Bibs for residents of a local senior center

Business: 
~ Valerie is still collecting Charm Squares (5″ square) for use in our charity quilts. Please bring your charm squares or fabric to be cut up to meetings.
~ The proposed budget for 2015 was handed out at December’s meeting. It’s also posted under “files” on our Facebook Family page. We will vote on the budget at January’s meeting. If you have any questions, please submit them via the guild email before 1/ 2.
