Christmas Pot Luck Supper 2009

  On the evening of 17th December 2009 we all had a lot of fun . One of the great things about a Pot Luck Supper is that everyone brings a contribution of food – main course or dessert – and, as ever, the spread was wonderful. Before we ate, Jane Edwards, North Wales Area Rep for the Quilters’ Guild of the British Isles, gave us lots of information about the workings of the Guild and the benefits of membership. She illustrated the differences between the Contemporary, Traditional and Miniature sub-groups with pieces of her own work which were eagerly examined later. After supper we enjoyed looking at quilt tops made by members of the current Beginners group and some of the Intermediate group showed their finished pieces in a Show and Tell session. To round off the evening I showed, and gave a talk about, some of my own work, and afterwards everyone had the opportunity to scrutinise it more closely. By the time the evening ended and we had tidied the hall, I was quite shocked to realise just how late it was – the time had literally flown by – we all had such a lovely time. I’m sure we’ll have another Pot Luck Supper at the end of the Twelve Week Courses. Many thanks to Jane for her contribution. All the best for 2010…!
