SHQ show & tell

I was up early on Thursday (1/3) to make a dessert for quilting.  Paula has scheduled a Mexican theme for Cooking Fingers this month and asked me to make dessert.  I wanted to try it out before I make 80 servings for the club, so I made EASY SOPAPILLAS for our quilting luncheon:  

By then it was time to get everything packed in the car and head out.  I headed out before 9 AM so that I could stop and return yarn to Anne and also to stop at the library since I couldn’t after quilting.  

We had a wonderful and loud time at quilting after being off for 2 weeks…show and tell was wonderful:

Jeanne was on fire with several very cute table runners

I love this one....so different!

Sue snuck away from Christmas company to get in a bit of hand quilting

this was made by Jerri's granddauter

Mary Ann is trying to suck me into doing another Christmas tree....I LOVE it!

and the food….OMgoodness…the food was fabulous (of course, once again I neglected to get any pictures  :~).  

I went straight from quilting to a meeting at the Lake House.  I recently volunteered to be a part of a committee which will be revising the manual we use to govern and direct all of our clubs.  The meeting started at 2 PM and I didn’t get home until just after 4!!!  It was our initial meeting and I believe on the whole, it went well.  I got to talk to Paula for a bit when I got home, but I had no energy after my day out and sat and read for a long time.  I just had a snack for dinner (still full from the wonderful lunch) and finally around 9 PM I got a bit of energy back and got a bit of beading done while watching TV with my honey.

I have to show you an incredible art project.  My Florida friend Inez (remember, the woman who came here for vacation for a week and worked like a dog in the kitchen baking and baking every day???) just finished a bit of Christmas art.  She wanted something special for her house, and this is done with acrylics on canvas:

I cannot believe just how good this is!!!
