October Meeting

A large group of ladies attended the October 18th meeting.  It was a very full evening of demonstrations, show and tell, great nachos and strip poker!!!  There were quite a few ladies who have been busy since the September retreat - many very pretty projects were shown.  Kathy talked about the remainder of the year and encouraged everyone to continue with making baby blankets for the hospital.  Nicole also brought pillow case kits to be sewn for humanitarian projects.  The material was donated by Redd's Ace hardware.  Three fun demos were presented by Nicole Ivins (Christmas stockings), Merri Shumway (Hunter's Star and how to make 8 half square triangles at once) and Gayle Shumway (weaving ornaments).  Deb, Cathy and Debbie made super nachos and dessert for the group.  The evening ended with strip poker - quilter's version!! Merri was the ultimate stripper so Deb has passed the crown to her.  She won the stack of Christmas themed strips.
