And this bundt cake, also made by Patty, which was as delicious as it was beautiful, with jelly filling inside.
The big event of the evening was our Christmas quilt exchange. At our October meeting we brought a charm square pack in a brown paper bag. We then drew a bag, not knowing who's charm pack we had, or who had our charm pack until the big reveal. The guidelines--make a small quilt or tablerunner for the original charm pack owner using at least 75% of the charm pack. Here are the results:
Patty made this super cute tablerunner for Marcia:
How cute is this wallhanging made by Deb for Patty:
Sue made this hand appliqued, hand quilted beauty for Annemarie:
Laura made this beautiful Edyta Sitar pattern with beautiful feather quilting for Ann:
Marcia made up her own design in this stunning original wallhanging for Deb:
Here's what I made for Sue. The pattern is from Teresa Silva's new book, Longarm Quilting Workbook:
And my gift came from Ann. It was wrapped in this beautiful decorative box:
My charm pack was "Bree". This photo of the fabric line is borrowed from the "Sew In Love With Fabric" blog, where you can read an interview with Nancy Halvorsen on her inspiration for designing this line.
It is absolutely adorable, Ann!!! I can't wait to hang it where it will be admired and inspire joy and friendship daily! 💗 Thank you!!!
Grace and peace!!! ~Nancy
