Santa says Ho, Ho, Ho, but we quilters say Sew, Sew, Sew and that’s the theme of our holiday party!

Have a gadget in your sewing room that you just don’t use anymore? Or have a gadget that you love that you’d like to share? Bring it wrapped to our meeting and we’ll swap with fellow members.

Have a wild holiday sweater? (I refuse to call them ugly.) Wear it to the party. The most “unusual” sweater will win a prize.

Wear you holiday pjs or anything comfy and cozy. Bring your favorite mugs for hot cocoa yumminess.

Holiday Refreshments: Hospitality will host their North Pole Hot Cocoa station. Members are invited to bring holiday refreshments on a throw away serving dish.
Last Names A - I: bring an appetizer
Last Names J - Z: bring something sweet
