 The Final Meeting of the Year!  

Today we celebrated a very busy year that saw:

1.   donations of many quilts, quilt tops, crumb catchers and baby items

2.   completed classes with Marge and her team that produced a lot of beautiful

      projects 

3.   as well as many, many of our own creations.  

Wow, we are busy and creative!!!

Our meeting also included a presentation by our fellow member, Angela LP on bag making.  After amazing us with her talents, she shared many suggestions on materials to use and where to source them.

Along with having a silent auction that included a wide variety of items, we had an amazing pot luck lunch.


First up, is the Block of the Month project started last September.  We had 4 complete finishes and one partial.


Angela LP made her quilt using only one month and a lot of snowflakes.  Following is the back of Angela's quilt showing her crane fabric.







Joan B. also showed her individual creativity including some embroidery work.  Following is her back of puppy paws.



Jennifer S. also finished her quilt that included each month being identified in embroidery




Bev M. took her BOM in a different direction by making hers a series of wall hangings that she can change out monthly.




Pauline was our final quilt in the BOM display.  Pauline plans to hand quilt her project and give it to her niece.  Lucky girl!


And last but not least, Kathy F. could not be with us today but sent a picture of her completed BOM.  


Great work, ladies.  Maybe we will see more come September.

This lovely display was followed by Angela's presentation.









Next up is our regular monthly show and tell:


Angela LP used all scraps to make both of her quilts featured below






Jennifer S made her quilt using her butterfly panel.



Bertha M. had three projects for us today - the first is her sweet heart runner that she hand quilted.  Her second is a Halloween quilt that she did at a recent retreat and her third is a bag complete with a summer flower.








You just get that "on the beach" feeling when you see the blues and greens in this quilt by Elaine M.  



Estella M. used a lot of hockey fabric in these next four quilts - all ordered by one lady.  Estella says she still has more hockey fabric but I don't imagine she's in a hurry to do another one soon.






These were one of the monthly projects Marge taught the guild this year.  Pauline is passing her thread catcher and pin cushion on to her granddaughter.


Our silent auction tables



And finally, this will be my last blog entry for the Cotton Mill Guild.  I am not returning in the fall.  As of now, no one has stepped forward to take over the blog.  If you should be interested, I will be available to turn it over and show you the ropes if you're new to blogging.  It's not hard and it doesn't take a long time.  Please contact Jennifer S. if interested.
