Hexie Club - 7/1/22 - Potluck & Christmas in July Party

Friday, 7/1/2022 - 12:30 Potluck and Christmas in July Party

1. Christmas
2. Something that can be fussy cut
3. Batik

Sarah - deviled eggs

Sue C. - pear (jello) salad

Ann - crockpot lasagna

Carol - dessert

9/2023 - Biennial ACWC Quilt show

Hexie Club - 11/6/20

11/6/20

I think that this month's meeting might be a warmer day than last month but we will still meet inside. Depending on how many attend we can space ourselves around the tables on the stage or we can also space out into the rest of the store as well. Don't forget (prepackaged) snacks to share and show-n-tell.

=====================================

12/4/20 - I know it's hard to believe but Christmas is on our doorstep and it's time to plan our annual Christmas Party...

Games 

-- Bring two FQs, one Christmas and one anything goes - I'll have a left-right game and a winner takes all game :)

--In the past we have also had a mugrug swap - want to do that again?

Food

In the past we have held a potluck dinner. I'm not sure potluck is a good idea yet given the current covid conditions so what do you think about ordering food this year? Pizza? Subs? Restaurant?

=====================================

1/1/21 - Save the date for our annual New Years Day Stitch till you drop event. 

Noon until we can't see straight any more. 

Thoughts on food? 

 

=====================================

2018 Birthday Exchange - 4" Kaleidoscope

• We are trying something a little different this year!! 
• Instead of each birthday girl receiving her favorite color, the birthday girl will receive the givers' favorite colors to make scrappy quilts.
• Each person will be gifting the birthday girl (8) large triangles and (4) small triangles. The birthday girl will then add 8 large and 4 small triangles of background fabric to your gift to complete 2 blocks. I will post pictures on the birthday tab ASAP.
• If you choose to use 2 fabrics it will be 4 large of 1 fabric and 4 large/4 small of another fabric. 
• Anyone want to swap more than one set to make a bigger quilt?

I'm still working on pictures for the birthday page.

Papers and templates will be available at the December meeting.

=====================================

9/2019 ACWC Quilt show
