Well, Happy Holidays and Happy New Year to everyone. I hope that you had a wonderful Holiday. I know it went very quickly and I am a bit sad it is all over. To all that were unable to make it to the Holiday Meeting, you were missed. We had such a lovely time gathering, eating and discussing our favorite topic, quilting. Thank you so very much Stephanie and Colleen for allowing us to us the LDS Church for our gathering. It was beautiful and what a gorgeous job you did setting up the room for us. We are so thankful and grateful for the both of you.  Thank you to Stella for the amazing Hot Chocolate table she set up with homemade marshmallows. YUM and Stella has the most amazing vintage thermos collection thanks for sharing that with us as well.  Thank you to everyone who brought goodies to share. It was such a fun evening.

From their website:

“The Mighty Lucky Quilting Club is the first monthly subscription club of its kind that focuses on challenging you with design concepts in the quilt making process…”

“In the Mighty Lucky Quilting Club, a popular quilt designer/trainer each month will provide a challenge for you to work through along with materials needed, guided instruction, detailed techniques and plenty of inspirational images. You can try it once and set it aside. You can turn the challenge into a full quilt if you’d like. You can do the challenge more than once! And of course you’ll want to take photos and share your efforts with others in the club as you work through the projects each month #mightylucky.”
