Club Notes - October 26, 2022

We had a fun Halloween party this afternoon.  For a change, as a thank you for all the work members have put into supporting our charities, we had the food catered by Mission BBQ. The food was excellent, and I would highly recommend them.  Several ladies brought desserts to round off the meal and they were all great too.

There were 26 ladies attending the party, plus Mic brought her daughter as a guest.  After enjoying the 1^st round of food, I challenged everyone with a bit of trivia.  Our friend Doug, who manages the rec center front desk and helps us all get our stuff in every week, joined us for the trivia. Four ladies managed to get 19 right answers out of the 28 questions and earned the first set of prizes.

We took time for the 50/50 and show and tell next.  The afternoon was rounded out with several rounds of Halloween Bingo.

Show and Tell: 

Ceal Pedersen showed a baby quilt she made 

and a bunch of stuffed toys she painted the faces on.

Louise Stem showed a valance she made for her husband’s office 

and some quilt blocks she made for prayer quilts for her friends back in Maryland.

Eileen DiSanto showed the quilt square she finished.

Deb Chapman showed the 8 point star block she made.

Kathryn Jeter showed several strip squares she made. 

 She also showed 2 tree skirts she made on her embroidery machine.

Ellen Hein finished the binding on 2 of Deb Chapman’s quilts. 

She then showed the 60 degree triangle table runner she finished 

and a quilt she completed for her grandson.

Brenda Severa showed the fabric box she made.

Bev Minnerly made a baby outfit for a new member of her family.

Judy Mayer made 2 tote bags.

Carolyn Grasso showed a quilt top she created from our 10 inch square stash.

Mary Ellen made 2 zipper bags

Audrey Phillips embroidered some lace angels as gifts for some medical staff who helped her through some dental work.

Mic and her daughter Andrea showed their joint project.  Mic upholstered chairs and her daughter painted a table to go with the chairs.

Thanks to all the ladies who helped with the clean-up at the end of the afternoon.  As always we were able to leave the room as clean as we found it.

Next week Mic will be running the meeting.  She will bring the fabric strips so you can work on some more strip squares.  I am having back surgery on November 1^st so will be off that week.  I plan to be back with you all on the 9^th.  Your prayers/positive thoughts for my surgeon’s hands would be greatly appreciated.
