In December, we celebrated another great year. Looking back over the blog, one can see that this group has created 90+ quilts and projects in this year alone. Of course, these are just the projects brought to our meetings.
These meetings afford us inspiration and a deep appreciation for the unique skills and talents of this group. This year we have been inundated with a plethora of sewing goodness from handbags to a wide variety of quilt styles and techniques to even a rabbit! Per usual, the year ended with a great show and tell.

To round the meeting out, we had the bonus of a fabric scrap swap. Everyone brought in as many bags of unused scraps as they wanted and exchanged them for the same amount. Such a great idea and so fun to go "shopping" for new fabrics.

Did I mention the food and drinks everyone brought? You can't end the year without food. No photos though because, well, someone was to busy eating and drinking. Ooops!
That was our year! Good-bye 2016! Happy New Year everyone! We will be off to a great start with our meeting on January 7th(tomorrow) with our regular congress and a sew-in. Don't forget your supplies and a favorite quilting tool to share.
On a last note, may the New Year bring you a dwindling WIP pile, an ever plentiful fabric supply, and endless inspiration. Let's make this year better than the last. Time to get quilting!
