Guild Meeting

This past Monday night was our annual covered dish meeting. It is always a huge buffet of fantastic foods. Check out these deviled eggs all dressed up.
There are several quilting bees that meet at other times during the month. Our vice president asked the bees to decorate the tables with a spring theme. These photos are some of the decorations on the tables.



Here are some photos of  show and tell.



This quilt top was put together by guild members and presented to our president for a job well done this past year. The picture does not do it justice but the pink in the quilt is friendship star blocks.
Our president gave each person volunteering for a job in the guild a little pin cushion that is filled will emery sand. The tomato fabric is velvet. She got them off this Etsy site if your are interested in seeing the other things that are for sale.  www.LoveLaurie.etsy.com  I received one, which was a nice surprise, because I have done the job of quilt historian this past year which means I take all the pictures of show and tell and other things that go on in the guild. 
It was a fun night of food and fellowship.

Carrie,
All the quilts are wonderful, the one floral applique is my favorite. Those deviled eggs are so wonderful in the sprouts, I will remember that next time I make them. your pin cushion is lovely and what an awesome color the velvet is.
Thanks for sharing.

You know people don't really go to trouble anymore with making food pretty and a table beautiful. I think we hurry too much. I like to see women take time to enjoy each other and have fun. The quilts are lovely.

Our last guild meeting before we break for the summer is next week and that's when we have our pot luck and silent auction.

The centerpieces are beautiful and make the tables look so inviting. And the deviled eggs look too good to eat!

What a delightful evening! And the tables were decorated so wonderfully. I never saw deviled eggs cut in half that way.. I would love to try that but then they would not fit in my tray.

AWWEsome quilts! Thanks for the wonderful show!

Wendy said...

Lovely show and tell. The egg dish looks wonderful. What a fun evening all around and you came home with a delightful pincushion.

What a fun tradition your guild has! I love all the table decorations. (And those deviled eggs look scrumptious!) And, as always, thanks for the fabulous eye candy and inspiration (I'm especially loving the choo-choo train quilt... so cute!). :)

I forgot to tell you that I lived in North Carolina many years ago, and my Mother lives near Greensboro on her family farm after being away for many years. I love visiting there, especially during our very long winters!
