REMINDER- No Meeting next week. Everyone will be busy getting ready for Thanksgiving. I hope everyone has a wonderful holiday with family and friends. Our next meeting will be December 4th. I will be bringing a couple of different patterns for Christmas/Winter Mug Rugs and Place Mats. I'll send details in a later email.
Speaking of meeting schedules, I received a call from the Recreation Facility schedulers at Savannah saying that they made a mistake on our permit in giving us every week during the winter months. We are back to having a room only on some Wednesdays during January, February and March. In March, for some reason, we only have the room for one meeting. We go back to normal schedule in April. For those who are new, note the room change over the winter.

Show and Tell:
Bev Minnerly showed the folded Christmas tree napkins she made.
Mic Pickard made some placemats.
Laura Paulk showed an expandable beach bag she made. (We're hoping for a demo of this.)
Pat Pipa showed a no-sew fabric ornament she learned to make at the Alamanda quilt club meeting on Tuesday. This is using the Japanese Kimikomi method.
New member Aileen Lee has gotten off to a great start. She took our cat hammock pattern and came with 4 sturdy, well made cat hammocks.
Carole Lamb was busy making items for a new grandbaby - a fox themed blanket for the dad and a crib sheet for baby.
She also showed a Publix bag that a friend enhanced with some lovely embroidery.
Kiki Mitracos made several drawstring bags for the Ocala shelter.
She also made a phone purse and a fabric photo frame for a woman who called me asking if someone could make items for her daughter out of her late husband's ties.
Brenda Severa showed a Halloween table runner she made.
B.J. came with a bag full of items she has been working on during the year.
She showed her Christmas Tree wall hanging,
a pillow that Ann Knoff embroidered for her,
and 2 quilts for her grandson
and granddaughter.
Lu Karatzas turned her collage butterfly and fish into pillows to match the quilts she made for her family's soon-to-be restored camp house.
Judy Mayer took some of our orphan blocks and made 5 zipper bags for the Sheriff's Youth Ranch kids
Eileen DiSanto made a cute stuffed dinosaur.
Donna Rissman made turkey earrings out of buttons.
I showed a quilt that was a collaborative effort. Jane Swafford made a pile of blocks and her sister Sue Campbell gave them to Pat Pipa. Pat turned them into a lovely quilt top. I added the backing and quilted it.
I made a couple more drawstring backpacks and 2 mug rugs in the shape of Christmas Stockings.
*************************
Today Kiki explained how to make yo-yos and put several sizes together to make a lovely fabric flower.
I brought lots of fabric to choose from this afternoon for whatever charity project attendees wished to make. A couple of ladies dived into the box of cut squares I brought and designed a lovely pink quilt, which I took home to sew together. Little by little we are working though the box of 6-6.5 inch blocks. Maybe next time I'll bring a box of one of the other sizes.
Don't forget, we will need a couple of nice twin size quilts to give to the Sheriff's Ranch graduates in May. I have a couple set aside now, but we expect around 7 graduates and we'd like to have something for each of them. Most are usually boys,
Everyone have a wonderful Thanksgiving. See you on Dec 4th.
