Annual Christmas Party
|
|
Party time!!! Food, Fun, and Games The first word that comes to mind is...WOW! That was FUN! Once again you all came together to make our CVQ Christmas party a huge success. A big shout out goes to those that decorated tables as they are what 'set the stage' for the Christmas party! The way in which the thread theme was incorporated into each table shows just how 'crafty' this group is! Thank you to all those that brought quilts to help 'decorate' the room...they all looked beautiful! We truly appreciate each one who took care of the kitchen set up and clean up for Carol Bingham. Great job ladies! You may have noticed the tall, good looking man with the camera?!? Lorne, Susan Joy's husband, documented our day and you can see his photos by clicking on this link - Christmas Party Photos. Once you open the album, you can click on any picture to enlarge it.

Betty Foley Trunk Show / Studio Tour
Betty Foley of the TBQ group invited us to her home for a trunk show. There were so many members that wished to attend that we put names into a "lottery" drawing. Winners were in for a real treat at Betty's. Those whose names were not drawn or had been there before went on a CVQ members' studio tour to Susan Gates Harms and Carol Rabbitt's quilt studios. Members met in the church parking lot for a brief meeting and then the two groups were on their way. Everyone met up again at the Bonn Fire restaurant in Chino Valley for lunch and to talk about all they had seen and learned. So much fun; let's do it again! If you are not on the list for the Betty Foley Studio Tour, youwere welcome to join in on the Alternate Studio Tours

Friendship Tea Party ~ May
We took time to recognize the Friendship Groups within our Guild while enjoying a lovely tea!
We thought it would be fun to learn more about all of the Friendship Groups within our Guild…to find out just what they have been up to! In the spirit of friendship…and who doesn’t like a gift…we are asked everyone to bring a pattern or a book that they are through with and played an exchange game. Of course what tea party is complete without finger foods!! Our fingers were busy sampling everything! Tea Party Hostesses ~ Annette McCormick, Pam Kidd, and Susan Joy Noyes |
