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.

Dinner and Gift Exchange

The Monday Night Divas Bee met for Dinner at Saltgrass Steakhouse and our annual Gift Exchange.  Getting eleven ladies together during the holidays is difficult, so we opted for January.  Good food and laughter with friends is always time well spent.

These are the gift bags that I gave to each Diva.  

Each one contains a fat quarter, a notebook that I made and a wax fabric marker.

I, also, created the flowers from book pages and spray ink.

Large Tote from My Stash

I went to the Red Barn for a three day retreat at the end of February.  This is one of the projects that I wanted to finish that weekend.  It turned out so cute.  I got the idea from The Missouri Star Quilt Co.  They have a Youtube video posted on their website with full instructions.  It is called, "Three Big Bags from one Jelly Roll". 

 I used fat quarters from my stash, so I had to cut 2 strips (2 1/2 " x 22") for each jelly roll strip that it calls for.

Approximately:  19" x19" x 4"

I had such a hard time cutting into these fabrics.  They are so scrumptious.

 

This Tote was donated to the WHQG to help raise funds for the Guild.
