Post-Thanksgiving and pre-Christmas...

Girls - a fun bee last night on a rainy, miserable night. Thanks for coming....Lois, Mare, Consuelo and Lori - you were missed. Mare - everyone's excited about your news. Hope Joanna feels better. Lois - what are you and George up to? Hope you had a nice turkey day. Consuelo - the lad has returned to West Virginia? You'll blink and he'll be home for Christmas! Lori - getting ready for the Santa shop? How's the construction/destruction coming? The big news of the evening was the decision about the Quiltmama Christmas extravaganza. It will be held....drumroll.......on Wednesday, December 30th at the McCabe estate!!!! Yay!!!! Gives us a chance to get through the stressful time right before the holiday - and we can truly relax and enjoy ourselves. A good decision! We had some show & tell last night:

These are baby quilts by Cathy for a set of twins - so cute. She had put the tops together in Brigantine.



This is Pam's Gingerbread quilt (that's what I call it). It's just adorable!!!!! So festive.....and the applique is outstanding.


I'd put this top together down in Brigantine - it's for the cross-country coaches. It's hard to tell but that print is a cool running fabric - sneakers, energy bars, times, etc.

This is a tablerunner I finished and donated to the Santa shop. I got the idea from a Moda Bake Shop runner I'd seen a few weeks back - fun to do.

This was a present for the little girl down the street - she was two. I loved the doll - almost didn't want to give it to her!



There were lots of laughs, some catching up and discussions of the recent happenings in the 'Triangle'.....



Say no more.....Cath - you are not crazy! Dolores is working on the quilt for a lady at work - with fabrics she's not crazy about. OY! I"ll post LA's extensive photos from the shore next time. We shared some stories from Brigantine with Pam. Lois - how is George's quilt coming? Can't wait to see it finished. Things are pretty slow at work so I spent a lot of time in Blogland - some cool ideas and stuff out there if you get a chance to look around. Take it easy, ladies. Have a nice weekend! Until next time.....piece.

Thanks for the pictures, Jean. The quilts are all really beautiful. Love the Christmas wall hanging. I've been sewing (and ripping out ) a lot. I'm doing binding on George's and my sister's quilt and sewing a bathrobe for my granddaughter out of fleece. Thinking of Delores as I sew because it is a really soft, thick fleece.

Oh but to fondle the fleece....
