Virginia Scrappers December 22, 2012

Posted By on December 22, 2012

As always, we had a great time today at our monthly Virginia Scrappers quilting fest.  We did lots of sewing, sharing, creating, eating, shopping and OODLES of giggling.  I think we all agreed that Catherine missed her calling when she didn’t go on stage doing stand-up comedy.  She kept us laughing for sure.  I have never seen anyone who could come up with something funny to say on the spur of the moment like that.

We had a mini-feast today with everyone bringing something fun to share………..YUM.  Thanks to everyone for making this a special time!

Here are some pictures of our fun today – and MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE….it won’t be long now….

Bonnie was binding her BONNIE HUNTER "Hidden Spools Quilt" today.

    Hi – I really enjoyed looking at your website. There’s so much to see. I”ve been watching
    quilting programs on PBS for years. I love art and the 2 things I love most about art are
    color and texture. I guess that explains why I love quilts. It was wonderful to visit you.
    Sincerely,
    Laura Putnocky
