November Meeting Highlights

This month’s meeting featured Bingo fun, followed by a Charity Sew-In to make fleece hats for the homeless. 

So many hats!
Members also participated in the handmade (quilting optional) ornament swap.
‘Tis the season!

SHOW & TELL

NEXT MONTH:
~ December is our Holiday Party & Chinese Auction! Bring your friends, especially if they’re interested in becoming a member. $5 at the door includes 10 tickets for the auction, lots of food and holiday cheer! ~ We will have our Challenge Quilt Reveal! Quilts should be completely finished (pieced/quilted/bound). Please have the exact dimensions of your quilt ready, if you haven’t already submitted them to Iris. Your quilt MUST have a 4″ sleeve on the back. 
~  Bring any additional bibs for the senior center. Malinda will be delivering them on December 21. At last update we were at 136 – only 14 to go to reach our 150 goal! 

~ December’s Block of the Month is the Fast Forward Block. Use 5 inch squares (charm squares) of white and modern red, green, blue/aqua and gray. Don’t forget – anyone can be a block angel by making an extra block or more for charity quilts! 
The colors? negative space? quilting? pattern? Be
prepared to share!   
~ BRING:
