Quilter’s Corner – Thimbleberries Club – November Meeting, 2008
Posted By drsao on November 2, 2008
Today we had our last meeting for our 2008 Thimbleberries Club at QUILTER’S CORNER and we got the instructions to put our quilt together. Now it is PUZZLE TIME…..we put all of our monthly assignments together and – voila – there is a beautiful quilt!!!! I just can’t wait to see it.
Mary did finish her Thimbleberries Lakeside quilt top already and there is a picture of it in my picture gallery!!!! (THE LAST TWO PICTURES IN THE GALLERY are the Lakeside Top and the Assignment for November!)
If you haven’t been in Thimbleberries Club I recommend that you run to sign up because it is just SEW SEW SEW MUCH FUN! There are two groups meeting on the first Sunday or the first Monday of the month at QUILTER’S CORNER. Sign ups for the new 2009 year start November 15 so we are all HOPING that we get on THE LIST before the club is full!
ONE of the things that I like about Thimbleberries Club is all of the extra ideas and patterns that we get to put into our notebook each month. Susan or another member usually does a demo and teaches us something new and wonderful!!!!! They even make the extra projects so that we can see them – as well as making the block assignment for the next month.
Today was special because we got to see pictures and the fabric for the 2009 Thimbleberries Club Quilt and we also got to see Susan’s pictures from the HOUSTON QUILT SHOW AND MARKET. Oh, was that ever fun!
ANOTHER thing that I like about Thimbleberries Club is that we take turns bringing in FUN FOOD. I had to take a picture of our “CHOW LINE” today – we had molasses cookies with pumpkin dip (in a pumpkin), chili, chicken corn chowder and a lot of other goodies.
A THIRD thing that I like about Thimbleberries is that we get THIMBLEBERRY BUCKS for attending meetings, doing our assignments, showing something at show and tell, shopping (wow is that ever the hard part…. 🙂 LOL) and also for doing a demo or bringing in refreshments. THEN AT THE CHRISTMAS PARTY we will have a great auction and BUY THINGS with our BUCKS…..now isn’t that GREAT!!!?
The FOURTH thing that I like about Thimbleberries Club is that we get to see all of the wonderful SHOW AND TELLS – it is inspirational. I have pictures of several of the SHOW AND TELLS FROM TODAY!
The FIFTH thing that I like is being with all of the wonderful quilters who come to QUILTER’S CORNER. Quilters are creative, nice, and LOTS of fun!!!!
Here are my pictures……I HAD to sneak a picture of Susan because she hides from the camera. Only her EYES are showing above my Split Nine-Patch Chicklet Quilt! MY BAD for sneaking her picture (but notice that I didn’t say sorry!) Her husband even smiled at me when I took his picture sitting in his car listening to music (it looked a lot like sleeping to us!!!)
Today I shared my OLD VIRGINIA ROAD QUILT TOP with the 112 flying geese around the border and the SPLIT NINE-PATCH CHICKLET quilt top that came from a YAHOO BLOCK EXCHANGE. (These are the two pictures right before the CHOW LINE.) That SPLIT NINE PATCH EXCHANGE was a lot of fun and I am going to quilt this one myself! Wish me luck!
Oh my goodness, this blog entry reads a bit like I am doing a commercial for QUILTER’S CORNER or THIMBLEBERRIES – no, I am not an employee of anyone (except Chesterfield County – substitute teacher) just a very happy customer. 🙂
