2011 Christmas Party – Part 2

Show and Tell – con’t

Betty Shumway shows off her latest quilt…

Cathy Cosby shows a quilt that her daughter asked her to make.  The fabric is not the ‘usual’ fabric, it contains indoor-outdoor fabric and is VERY HEAVY!!!

Kathy Hurst and her latest quilts…

 

Hospital Board Member, in Center, and family arrived for the presentation of the quilt that will hang in the lobby of Blue Mountain Hospital in Blanding.

 

Official Presentation!

Members of Grayson Country Quilters!

 

Vicky Kuykendall shows off her baby quilt, that she started for her daughter, and now is giving it to her daughter for her newborn son!!!

Vicky made these cute newborn double sided outfits for her new grandson.

 

Bobbie Holt shows off her recently completed quilt.  It took her 1 1/2 years to complete.  She’d pull it out, work on it, get frustrated, and put it away for a while.  (A good lesson for all of us, let’s get those unfinished projects completed!!!)

Thanks so much to Janet Wilcox for hosting the evening and for all members who came and participated. 

Merry Christmas!

2011 Christmas Party

Janet Wilcox home was the location of the Grayson Country Quilters Christmas Party on December 21st.

Pre-Party Pictures

Socializing and Visiting

Dinner included four types of meatballs served over rice and noodles, salads, and homemade rolls made by Mitty Brice.  The dessert table looked (and tasted) scrumptious!

 

Vicky Kuykendall had on a darling necklace that her step-mother made for her a few years ago!

 

Worthy Glover presented his show-and-tell early.  He made this Mexican Star in three days!  Jerry Montella machine quilted the wall hanging.

 

Bonnie Meyer and Kathleen Lyman made candy that was placed at each place setting and a Christmas gift that each guild member took home with them.

 

2011 Guild Officers were presenting ‘thank you’ gifts on behalf of the service they provided this past year.

  

SHOW-AND-TELL

The favorite part of each guild meeting is show-and-tell.  Shari Guymon showed pictures of her granddaughter Violet’s blessing dress.  Shari hand did all the smocking on the dress.  (We are all impressed!)

 

 

Deb Bayles showed a three dimensional quilt that she recently finished piecing.  Deb crocheted the doilies in the quilt and then cut them up.  She also added a personal touch by her embellishments.
