This strawberry liquer came all the way from Italy and it was sooooo yummy on our ice cream. Thanks a bunch for thinking of us, Linda.

Beautiful table with tons of great food. The huge pot of soup wasn't on here yet.
Cathy with her "shirt" pillow cases.
Cathy's Christmas quilt
Another of Judy's quilts. We can't keep up with her.

Show and Tell Time! Sandy's quilt she designed. It's a stunner.
Judy created this pattern. I sort of changed it as I went.
Cathy lookin cute in front of the fire.

Robbie brought some home made carmel corn and below is Sandy (little red riding hood?) with her basket of goodies for us.

Candy placemats for us to take home!

Aren't these lights Judy made just the cutest?

MORE PARTY TIME!

Here are some more photos of our fun day. Linda was kind enough to bring some "Liquer" from Italy for us to sample! OH MY!!!!!!!!!!!!!

LOOKS LIKE IT'S PARTY TIME!!!!!!!!!

Weds., December 14th, was our annual Sewing Bee Christmas Party. Everyone came with smiles and with their arms loaded with food and gifts to exchange. (that's always the best part) We ate, laughed, ate some more, laughed some more, and then ate still more yet! Needless to say we were all on a "sugar high" by the time the day was over. Here are a few pics of our fun day!

Our September Bee Meeting

Robbie here… Our September bee meeting was held at my house.  A highlight of my month is getting together with this group.  I love these friends.

We always have show-n-tell of things we have been working on.  We have been very busy!  We had lunch and sewed in the afternoon.

Judy and Sally are sisters.  They picked a design and each constructed their quilt without sharing.  They didn’t see the other’s quilt until they were both done; how fun, right?  They revealed their quilts to us yesterday.  Aren’t they just TERRIFIC??  We LOVED them!

Here is Sally’s:

  

and Judy’s:

Here is Judy’s show ‘n tell:

Linda is our resident redwork specialist and she quilts, too!  She she has a great eye for color and detail.  Linda made this fall table runner and wall hanging as gifts.  The recipients will consider themselves very fortunate!  They are just lovely!

I showed everyone the Amelie bag I made for show-n-tell.  Since I shared it on a previous blog post, I decided to post what I stitched at our get together.  It will be a gift for a new baby.  The second picture is a completed piece I did for another child a few years ago.  It’s so sweet, don’t you think?  I just love them!  (Maybe I’ll try selling them on Etsy.)

I also worked on a fall table runner, but I’ll share that later!

Meet the Girls!

We are members of the Columbine Quilt Guild in Colorado.

Our bee just celebrated our first anniversary. We meet at least one time a month and usually meet at someone's house. The best part of our getting together is our show-n-tell. We've learned so much from one another and are always encouraged to try something new.

Here we are at Sally's house. Meet Cathy, Sandy, Judy, and Linda! You have a lovely home, Sally, thanks for hosting us!

Our specialty is our salads! The hostess supplies the greens and the rest of us bring goodies to add.
