Our first post!

Today was our Christmas Party. We had an awesome meal catered by Creative Cuisine, Sandusky, OH. But what I am most interested in showing you is our show 'n tell! First we have Deb L with her dimensional kitty quilt. If you click on the picture, be sure to check out the 2 mice (one at the top and the other at the bottom)!


The next two pictures are of Deb L's reversible tablerunner - it's Christmas on one side and Fall pumpkins on the other. Great job Deb!
The next two pictures are of Joanne H's bag and totes. The red bag is made from a placemat! The next picture is of two larger totes, one with pockets, the other without. Now aren't you wishing that you were on Joanne's Christmas Tote Recipient List? Next we have pictures of Pat M's MQB Retreat 2008 quilt! The name of the block is Old Maids Rambler. Pat got creative with the back of her quilt!
Diane R has had her embroidery machine working overtime with Christmas gifts as you can see by the following 3 pictures: a centerpiece, 2 little stocking ornaments to hold gift cards or money and a snowman stitched on organza that Diane will make into an ornament for the tree or a package! Next up we have Pat R with a stunning dragonfly quilt made for her daughter-in-law. Pat used some gorgeous batiks, some etched with gold! Even the backing to this quilt is equally stunning with a Hoffman dragonfly print! Great job Pat!
Here is Eileen K with a comfort quilt for someone at her church.














And here is Judy K with a play mat she made for her grandson. He ought to have hours of fun driving to school, stopping for gas + visiting the pizza parlor!
and last, but certainly not least, Kare and Joanne have spent the past month or so culling items from their Quilt Rooms that they no longer wanted or needed and brought them to share with Guild members! There were books, patterns, a calendar, a clip-on light, a tin picture, a quilters license plate, stationery . . .
