Twas the season- December meeting recap

Now that the holidays have passed, it's time to reflect on how much joy and good times with friends they brought us.

Our December meeting served as our Christmas party, and I think it's safe to say everyone had a blast.

We had a homemade (not necessarily by you) gift exchange where we switched gifts as Leslie led us in "Twas the Night before Christmas- Quilter's Version". Everyone had a ton of fun, got and gave great gifts, and had marvelous food.

We even had some members bring some great shows to share!

Debbie brought this gorgeous, modern Christmas quilt made with Cotton + Steel's Garland line.



Karen's kids were coming into town this season, which inspired her to finish some holiday UFOs from years past!





Stacie also felt the thrill of finishing a long-time WIP, from the workshop with Shannon Brinkley. Fabulous!





Jennifer was also inspired by a local workshop to make this beautiful Kaffe Fassett wall hanging for fall.



Mandy made this beautiful tie-memorial quilt for her neighbor whose husband recently passed. What a precious gift!





We had a great year, and hope you'll join us for a fabulous 2017!

"Quilt-mas" Party 2012

In lieu of a December meeting, we opted to have a little Christmas party to just kick back and enjoy each other's company in a non-meeting setting.  Elizabeth was wonderful and hosted us at her gorgeous new home...seriously stunning!  :)  Thanks, Elizabeth!!!

We had a potluck meal and of course GIFTS!  Everyone was invited to bring a handmade gift for swapping.  It was amazing how the gifts worked out and matched up with people perfectly despite being drawn at random!  I'm just going to let the smiling faces speak for this post.  It's been a great year in the OKCMQG and it was so fun to celebrate with dear friends.
