Jan. Meeting

WE all got together for our first meeting of the year.
The hostess made us all a sack lunch it was great we all had fun with them. WE even had Cool Aid. WE all made the bags that the girls and I made for Christmas. They had a great time learning to make them and thought of all kinds of gifts they could use them for.

My GD Sara worked on quilt blocks while we were all doing bags.

My tree.

I got my tree up right after Thanksgiving. But Jennie came a week later and put the ornaments on for me. It looks so much better than this photo shows. I have really enjoyed it.

More bags!!

I made these for gifts on Sat. My granddaughter Sara,14 needed gift for all her friends . So Sara and I cut them out and Jennie and I sewed and Sara turned them She needed 8 of them and Jennie took some for gifts for her co-workers at the Quilt shop. I kept the brown poke-a-dot.

My friend Janie come over Friday and I showed her how to put them together the 2 below are hers.

The ones we made for Kristin were a great success. The girl's in the apartment at collage loved them.

Me and my girls!

Jennie and Kristin came and the 3 off us had a sew in to make gifts for here room mates at collage. I think there is 5 in her apartment with her. We had a good time and made 18 sleep mask and 10 large cosmetic bags in all. We stopped about 11:30 P.M. Sat. night. I think it was a very productive night of sewing. We were all 3 happy with the finished product. There is one small bag we made 1st . We decided to enlarge it. I like the larger ones much better.

Some of the mask have yellow lining and some red lining.

New window in the building.

I got a new window in the $$ pit. For 2 days I had a big open hole in my bedroom now everyone in town has seem my bedroom!

It turned into a bigger job than I expected. The wall was not good and we had to replace all the inside wall in the room.

I hope this stops the rain and water from coming in. The top of the old window had slipped 1/2" and was open . Water was coming in from the sidewalk when it rained. After all the work , $$ and time I hope it's fixed!





My new window.

Now to get the $$ for the other window!!!

Quilt group Christmas! We start early!

This is what we see when we all walked into Maxine's house the night of our Christmas party. We all took food and a gife to exchange. I over endulged! Big time! Everything was so good and I didn't have to cook it!

There is not a thing better than time with good friends sharing the things we all like. Quilts , food, and each other.

This is our kickoff for the Christmas season!!
