Meeting Details for November 19

The last meeting of 2015 is next Thursday, November 19 at 6:30 p.m. at the Polk County Community Center, 134 6th Street, WDM (in Valley Junction) [click for map]. It is in the first block of 6th street, just north of Railroad Blvd. We hope to see you there!

Holiday Party 

It's finally here, our annual holiday party!!  We will celebrate with potluck treats, so please everyone bring a little festive food or drink to share, thank you!

Then we'll play the best tradition of this little group, the Holiday Gift Swap game!! Everyone who brings a homemade gift can play.  (I'm saying that so you can come to the party even if you don't have time to make a gift)  Anyway, try to make a small-ish holiday-themed gift to bring to the meeting. See this post (2014 Swap) and this one (2013 Recap) if you need ideas. Expect something like a pillow, tote bag, zipper pouch, small quilt, pincushion, apron, ornaments, etc., etc. Wrap it like a present and bring it to the meeting. You don't know who will end up bringing your gift home, but if its modern, quilt-y, holiday and handmade by you, I'm sure they'll love it!

I've been looking forward to this all year, so hope you all can make it!
See you next week,
-Emma
