Quilt Group Party

I love Christmas parties. Especially when they are with my quiltie friends. It was a festive night of yummy home made food, chatting and tea towel swapping! Look at all the prizes ready to be handed around.




This is the towel I made for the swap. Isn't the chick cute? It was a pattern I found in my stash.




Julie over at Country Girl at Heart was our president this last year...and what a great job she did! We had a fun year. Thanks Julie!!

Quilt Group Christmas Party!

We had a great time at our Quilt Group Christmas Party last night! These teatowels were made by our quilt girls to swap with each other. I love to get things that I didn't make myself. They were all so cute I had a hard time deciding which one I wanted....

Now that my run as president is over, I may get some more of my unfinished projects finished. And I can't wait for Becky's online group to start! She has such great ideas (did I mention that she was my right hand gal this year for our quilt group?) I know that she has some great quilting designers lined up to design unique projects just for her online group... I think she is even giving away free memberships on her blog. Make sure you check out her blog for more details.

Have a happy weekend!

P.s. Don't forget to enter the giveaway below. You can still enter until Dec 6th.

Chocolate Basket

Here is the yummy basket our guild is donating to be auctioned by the Utah Quilt Guild. It is crammed full of fabric, chocolate, a cupcake pin cushion, kiss dishtowels and candy pillowcases, a fabric sundae, patterns, and did I say chocolate?? Plus lots of other surprizes. The girls from our Feed Dogs group are fabulous!!!!!

Dessert anyone...?

The quilt group picnic was alot of fun! By each place setting was one of these ice cream dishes with a fat quarter treat, topped by fluffy topping and a cherry! Anyone would agree that to a quilter, this is as good as the real thing!!

The stitchery items that everyone brought were so cute. I got a fabulous bag that I think I even squealed over. Everyone got a candybar with a golden ticket because our theme has been , of course, CHOCOLATE!








All of the chocolate quilts were hung to show and they were awesome! Everyone added thier own touches and they were all wonderful. Thanks to all of you ladies who made the quilt and participated. And if you would like to get the chocolate quilt pattern, you can still get it in my Etsy store.



so- On to the next project...I can't wait to see what everyone does with the new pattern, The Cranky Quilt... It is fun and cranky. If you go to Beckys page you can see hers and a free tutorial, too.

Gettin Ready for the Summer Quilt Picnic...

This year for the summer Quilt Group picnic we are doing an embroidery project swap. ok- I love the hand work so..yes...it was my idea! I made a vintage style apron...and a couple of bags... I love them, so my little not wanting to share side secretly hopes no one else picks them so I can keep them...

I also made some new pincushions for my store. They are really fun to make!! I think I will be doing aprons too (in the near future). They are so CUTE!!
