The August meeting was a "bring a project to work on" night. These committee members got together for a "meeting of the minds"

During this fun evening, many different events took place......serious discussions were held......

.....as well as friends gathering together happily stitching on projects and  enjoying one another's company

Sandi not only found time to hand quilt, but also brought along a tea setting to get everyone's curiosity piqued for the upcoming Holiday Tea Party

Talking and sewing with friends.....it doesn't get much better than that!

Diane and Elyse caught in a serious moment

Fred "flies" through her project

Debbie and Winn having quite a few laughs over some racy jokes!  :)

Kim is caught (once again) on camera.  Although she tried to dodge the camera, she was slowed down due to her ankle injury, which required the use of crutches.

Obviously in pain, which affected her normally sunny disposition, she is caught on camera telling the poor photographer to "back off, or I'll beat you with my crutch!"

While one picture of Debbie and Winn was fine, two pictures were more than they could bear.   Here is Winn telling the harried photographer to "Back off, lady!"

Debbie's approach to "back off" was much more unique.....will bribery work???   

Thankfully, most guild members simply tolerated the picture taking intrusions during the evening with a "grin and bear it" attitude!  (Just kidding ladies.....you were ALL great!)

Show and Tell began with Fred's award-winning Family Tree quilt.

This quilt was inspired by a recent family reunion, and she incorporated the towns the families live in, signature blocks, and the sites seen in the area of the reunion

Fred even included the many methods of transportation which were used by family members to arrive at the reunion.

Joann models a jacket and matching bag made for a recent vacation

This guild member finished her wallhanging project begun in Linda Poole's workshop!  Way to go!

This redwork quilt, which many saw while being worked on at retreat, is finally finished!

A closer view of all the work involved in this beauty.
