Members of my quilting group, Crazy Quilters, always have a nice holiday gathering in place of our regular sewing day.
Always a lot of fun! This year we played a couple of games with fabric as prizes.
Everyone brings a dish to share. This looks like a colorful spread with lots of healthy choices included.
We stopped doing a gift exchange but everyone brings in sewing related items we no longer need so there are lots of door prizes.
I had mentioned that we had a sort of a contest this year. It was a challenge to make a "quilt based on a piece of artwork".
Here are the projects a few of us came up with. Yep, that's my giant gaudy unfinished quilt in the middle. Sure, my quilter friends made polite remarks about it...but it was a bit of an embarrassment for me.
The other ladies all had such skillfully finished work.
Wanda created this amazing self portrait! See her photo there on the right.
Isolde also was inspired by a magazine pattern...made bright and pretty with her improvements in color choices.
Jan interpreted " based on artwork" the same way I did and made this cute mini quilt based on a piece of art from a fundraiser. Adorable with the chenille trim added as lines between the blocks.
Oh well, someone has to be in last place. Might as well be me!
A fun gathering with friends though!
