Quilter’s Jewelry

I had to share this site for our  quilters that love jewelry also.  You may be familiar with Avlyn fabric and now they have jewelry also.  Don’t ya think these might look good with our own Sandi P’s fabric jewelry she makes for our Miamisburg Quilt Shows??

November Meeting

We had another great group of quilters and friends together tonight.   So many pics of Show and Tell and other activities  that the photographer’s batteries were exhausted!!  Shirley of course to the rescue with batteries.  Is there anything she does not come prepared for??  These first pics are of our random Door Prize winners.   Wear a name tag that you made and win a prize!  I may have missed one or two prize winners, but people were moving fast tonight.  Besides the photographer was sneaking some snacks every now and then.

Next we have our annual Christmas Decoration Exchange.  Here are the ladies that exchanged ornaments this year.

As always, our Show & Tell Page will be posted separately to the right of your screen.

Since this is our last meeting for this year we wish all a Happy Holiday Season and we will see you in the Happy New Year!!
