Christmas Party Reminders

Just a reminder to all of you that our Christmas Party is on Monday, December 3rd!  Looking forward to a fun evening!

 

 

 

Less than a week before the Christmas party girls, so here are a few reminders.

Don't forget to bring your canned goods for the pantry

Children's stocking

Ornament exchange if you wish to participate

Bring one/receive one bag if you wish to participate

Money for the 50/25/25 cash raffle

And be READY for Reindeer games.

You can begin to arrive at 5:30 and supper will be at 6:00. I see that the forecast calls for nice temperatures so we do not have to worry about any snow. Can't wait to see everyone and have a nice evening. Deanna

NEW BLOG FEATURE

If you will look on the right hand column of our blog, you will see that I have added a new feature to the blog.  If you click on the photo of our Pine Needle Quilter Banner it should (hopefully!) take you to photos of our quilt show.  Once you get to the photos, you can make them larger by clicking on the picture.  If you want to view them a slide show there is a button for that as well.
I apologize to anyone if I missed pictures of quilts at the show, so if you have any pictures that you would like me to add to this album, please email them to me.
I hope to add more captions to pictures soon, in things like the Fashion Show, so please hang in there with me, it is a learning process, and I am not always a fast learner!
I hope you enjoy this new feature of the blog, and I think it will come in handy for other things as well. 
Sit back, relax and enjoy looking over our beautiful quilt show.

Treasure's of Tomorrow Quilt Show

At the recentTreasures of Tomorrow Quilt Show at Marshfield, WI, member Carol R. brought home a ribbon on her quilt Daisies In the Cabin.

 

Here is Carol with her very striking quilt, as well as the "Pastor's Choice Ribbon"!  Congratulations to Carol, the quilt is just lovely!

 

Other news from the show is that Sheila's granddaughter Gabrielle also recieved a 1st place ribbon at the show in the Youth category. Congratulations to  Gabby as well.

 

If that wasn't enough, I am excited to tell you that member Evie K. was lucky enough to win the main raffle prize at the Marshfield show.  We were there to hear her name being called as the winner of the raffle QUILT!  We let out a loud cheer!  I am told that Evie will be bringing her wonderful prize to our next meetings Show and Tell.   Congratulations to you Evie!

Bras for a Cause

Our guild was challenged to decorate/create bras to be displayed at our quilt show for Breast Cancer Awareness.  Following the quilt shows bras were displayed at local clinics and hospital to continue on "their mission".
Here are some of the fun bras that our group made:

 

"My Hooters"

 

"Autumn Harvest"

 

Guild members voted for their favorite bras...Sheila and Maggie display the bras that tied for guild favorites.

 

All bras were displayed at our quilt show.

 

Many of the show visitors stopped to take a peek at the bra display, and check out the information Maggie had available regarding mammograms, early breast cancer detection etc.  Thank you Maggie for heading up this great project, and to all of the ladies who participated!
