QCSG Party!

Our party this year was held at the Warren County Historical Society and Museum.  The part where our party was held used to be the town's post office!  It was a nice open space with lots of natural light.

When you first entered the room there were several tables set up next to the windows for the guild's anniversary sampler display.  I was impressed with the number of folks who worked on and completed this SAL.  As I mentioned before, I shamelessly did not...more than one big a$$ project a year is enough for me!

Check out the size of these and you see what I mean about a BAP!  I'm giving the wonder woman cape to all these girls.  You all rock!

Of course no guild get together would be complete without some show and tell!  I love this one.  I've got it in the stash.  It was gifted to me by my dear friend Toni several years ago.  I haven't forgotten about it!

Our guest lecturer even brought some show and tell of her own!  Love the strawberries in this sweet set!

She's designing this one for the Magnolia Sampler Guild.  How lucky these ladies are going to be to stitch this beauty.  And to think, it's not even finished yet!  Theresa told us she stitches all her own models and designs as she goes.  How interesting!

This was one of my favorites.  I love all the flowers and those chickens are really fun too!  She had  the chart for this one with her for sale but I didn't bring any money.  It was a bit pricey so it was just as well.

We got a sneak peek at a group project for next year.  Some of our guild members are designing smalls for us and we will have a finishing class later in the year.  How cute is this?  I like the idea.  I can see myself changing up the colors and fabric.  Fun!

Here's a peek at the ornament tree!  We had quite a few really pretty ornaments this year.  I always enjoy seeing the various ways folks choose to finish their ornaments.

As I've mentioned to some of you in the comments from last time, my ornament was a hit!  I'm so glad everyone liked it.  I had never met the lady that got it.  I hope she enjoys it as much as I enjoyed coming up with the design and stitching it.

I hope you enjoyed the peek at the party.  It was fun to get together with everyone.  There were some folks I visited with that I hadn't seen since last year.  That's always so much fun.

Speaking of visiting with folks I haven't seen in a while, this weekend is the annual fall retreat with the "Russellville" girls at the Inn at Windmere.  I'm really looking forward to getting away.  Our agenda has us eating way too much, stitching a whole lot, shopping and all around relaxing.  Pretty close to heaven if you ask me!

Thanks for all your sweet comments on my last post and for stopping by to visit today.


More next time,
