Of course, we had a number of conversations going on at once, as members arrived in dribs and drabs...
... Various members took time to catch up with one another...
... Until it was time to begin the meeting:
Here, Britt poses by her new "pour" painting:
Show and Tell began with Cheryl K. and one of her two new quilted Scarf-turned-Table Runners:
She also shared a recently completed Flannel Baby Quilt:

... And Carol waited patiently for their turn to share. Her TELL is that she is working on decorating the house for our next meeting.
PLEASE NOTE that the date has been changed and our Holiday Potluck will be held on Saturday, December 14th at Carol's house:
Lynda brought a pattern (ice skate applique) to share and the fabrics she collected, which will now be made into Table Runners:

Linda was sporting her BTS sneakers:
Her TELL: She is officially signed up for Medicare AND there are only 133 working days until retirement!!

One million, fifty thousand!!! It was quilted by Suzanne De Serres of Singing Stitches and used 1200 yards of thread! She will enter it in a contest offered by her linen supplier.
