December 2022- Christmas Virtual Meeting

 It is the Season, again. 

I don't have my tree up yet but past experience tells me this is what it is going to look like.

Most people have lovely ornaments, I have cats!

I hope you have your festive beverage in hand, because this year's Christmas collection is the best!

Anita has a gorgeous Christmas wall hanging.

Look at the hand applique.

This is her poinsettia throw.

This is a UFO that finally got quilted.

Anne Gravel finished her tree skirt, last year, just in time for Christmas.

She started this Christmas Village quilt at a quilt retreat (many, many year ago) and it was quilted by Grace Whiting.

Anne started this one in 2019, at a class at Maker's Savvy. It was quilted by Stella Grey and Anne is working on finishing the binding for this Christmas.

Barb Karim made this tree skirt for her son and his family.

Barb also sent a few of her other Christmas creations.

Barb Sharp-Bond has very wisely made a reversible Christmas quilt, with Christmas on one side and blocks using Downton Abby themed fat quarters for the other side. The quilt is queen size and was quilted by Krista.

Beth Marshall has this Christmas panel quilted, and it just needs a binding. Doable by Christmas.

Carole Kennedy makes ornaments each year for her children and grandchildren. This year she made a few extra.

Doris Braslins says that she made this bean bag Santa in the 80's. It is well loved and it always comes out of the box and onto the mantle on Des. 1.

Joanne Ritchie made this tree skirt for her daughter.

Joy Melsness sent some pictures of her Christmas decorations. She says the reindeer tablerunner reminds her of jan Kittle since she bought the pattern at the Pickle dish.

This is my tree skirt. It got started at retreat a number of years ago and then it got forgotten for a number of years. I pulled it out in February of 2018 and finished, because it is so much easier to finish Christmas things in February,

A couple of weeks ago, I saw this pattern from the Passport to Quilting promotion. I was looking for a door decoration for my Mother-in-law's apartment. It is a single 12"block, and I machine tied it, It uses the backing as the binding,

Kathy O'Hagan made these stocking for a family friend who wanted plain stockings. She embroidered name tags for the stockings and the family loves them.

Keeping with the stockings, Kathy made these stockings for her two little dogs.

MaryAnn McLaughlin made cushions and gift bags this year.

It is said that friends are a gift you give to yourself. Thank you, friends for all your inspiration in 2022. I'm looking forward to see what you all create in 2023.

Our next Show and Tell will be January 9, 2023.
