Monday Night Divas' Dinner

Each year, The Monday Night Divas Bee has its holiday celebration in January.  We gave up trying to get together in December, years ago.  We had dinner at the Saltgrass Steakhouse and exchanged fat quarters.  We have 10 members, but only 7 were in attendance.

The Donation Quilt is Quilted

The Donation Quilt is back from the longarm quilter.  It is beautiful.  Betty did a wonderful job.  Now I just need to trim it and sew on the binding, which is one of my favorite parts.

Donation to Quilt Show 2019

The Monday Night Divas had a block exchange in 2017.  We made extra blocks to use in a charity quilt and to use in a quilt to donate to the WHQG's 2019 Quilt Show.  This quilt will be our donation to the Show's Tin Can Raffle.

Monday Night Divas Gift Exchange

I am a member of the Monday Night Divas Bee.  We draw names and exchange Christmas Gifts at a restaurant a few days after Christmas.   We are finished with our family celebrations and the restaurants are still decorated for Christmas.  It works for us.

I wanted to share this cute sewing kit that I received from Pam.   It is so creative and I love the closure button.

 

This is it closed up.  Look at that pretty button.

This is it unrolled.  It could hold small blocks to work on.

All of these goodies were inside of the tube with drawstrings on each end.
