Here's a massive Thank You to our executive for all their hard work!
Take a look at some of the decorations...
The nativity Set played Christmas Carols.
The tables were all decorated with these gorgeous Centerpieces.
1. Birthday Girls this month, Donna Prince &

2. Donations for our local seniors facilities were piled up on two tables as everyone dropped their quilts off when they came in. Take a look at all these beauties.
Linda Scott is looking at Donna Prince's contribution. The pattern for this block is on this blog. Search for Quilt Pattern Instructions to go to the posting.
Janet Walton is in awe at all the beautiful quilts to be donated.
LaRae McKinnon and Linda Scott are busily going through all the quilts.
3. Early Bird winner was LaRae McKinnon. She was first to arrive for the meeting today.
4. A large jar of candy canes was set up on the table as we entered. We were asked to write down the number we thought were in the jar. We had three winners! Each had guessed the number was 300. The actual number was 309.
Donna Prince, Gail Purnell and Dawn Collins each received a quilt kit of their choosing from the selection at the head table.
5. Beginning in January 2016, LaRae McKinnon will be presenting stories about quilting each month. Thank you LaRae!
