DECEMBER MEETING NOTES

It was party time at the cozy Craddock Cottage of Medina United Methodist Church. We started with a small bit of end of the year business–to deliver a thank you quilt

to the Medina Library for them to use any way they want. Two representatives from the library joined us to receive the round robin quilt

which had started life as a great idea from our own Tammy

 and been worked on my many members of the group.

 

We had “Show and Tell” with Margaret bringing a very unusual crochet necklace–beautiful and very delicate–that she found from a concessionair at the Kerrville VA.And Michele brought a unique basket that she has learned to make using a Jelly Roll–or two.  After that we started the serious partying with lots of food and presents. The group presented Baskets of Love to Tammy, Lu and Edie as a thank you for special group support in the past year. And Abby Mays sent a speical gift bag full of quilting goodies for each of us. You can see lots of creative ideas at www.abbimays.com .

Lu asked me to include the following message from her in this newsletter:

“I would like to thank all of you who were so wonderful to surprise me with a “Basket of Love” at our Christmas Party. I have had a lot of fun going through each package and trying to decide where to put each item. Everyone of them was a useful product and I am enjoying them daily. Thanks for being such a generous and wonderful group of women. I did not feel deserving of this because all of us contribute to the monthly meeting-but I do thank you!!!! See you around the quilt frame. Love to all, Lu.

Tammy asked me to add her message, “Yeah, what she said! Thanks for the LOVE! Tammy.

I just want to add that the love from the group and the basket full of goodies has kept me warm through all the cold weather. I am thankful to be able to participate in all the Medina Quilt Group activities. P.S. I haven’t used my “duck” potholder yet but I will just as soon as I learn how to cook. Thank you all. Edie

Well, I’m not through with this newsletter yet because the “sock” competition continues. Led by EvelynSeveral other members have joined in the fun.

But naughty Santa stole the show…..

See you all on the 18th for the start of another great year. Edie

P.S. A small group of us have continued to gather at The Core for coffee, quilting and just fun visiting on Friday mornings about 9-9:30. Bring your lap work or just come for the sharing. EJ
