December Meeting

We decided to have our December Christmas party meeting in late November. One less thing in December to take care of. We had great time with the gift exchange. There was some great stuff and more than one gift was passed around more than once. We all brought some yummy eats and had a great time just visiting. This is the last month for Mercy Border Quilt. We have had a great time working on each others quilts. We have learned a lot about handing over the wheels to others and letting their creativity work for us. We learned about adding borders of many sizes to a quilt. We have decided to do a block swap for next year. We will each decide on a block pattern from Quilters Cashe website. Then we will add instructions to our block choices.  When the year is done we will each have 12 blocks made by others for a quilt. How fun! We also decided to add a few other projects. I will be hosting a quilt along, Double Delight by Bonnie Hunter. Lots of little pieces. Rula will be breaking down a pattern into 12 month chunks, Count Your Blessings by Briarwood Cottage.

Let's get started on our last Mercy Border Quilt parade.

We had a few ladies that did not have quilts to pass around last month Karyli, Shannon, Nicole, Sheryl, and Nikki.

 Dawnel's quilt has one last dark border on it. 

Sherri's quilt I did not get a last picture on. She has decided not to come back in January. She is going to take some time off.

Dawnel added a white and red border to Rula's quilt. This is a great quilt!

 Shigae added a cream and brown border to Donetta's quilt. What a fun set of colors.

 Karyli added a very fun and wide border to Mandy's quilt. Love the black squares around the pinwheels.

Even though Nicole did not have a quilt to be passed around Gaylene made some pillows to go with her quilt. That was so sweet of her.

Shannon made small paper-pieced four patches for Shigae's quilt. The green is a nice touch.

Sherri added a small white border to Gaylene's quilt. This would make a fun 4th of July blanket.

We have a nice little extra. Mandy 1st finished quilt. These denim patches belong to all of her family. Shigae helped her to put it together and it is huge and heavy. Great job Mandy!!
