Great food provides the energy for great
cluck and chatter
The buffet included cut fruit, pasta salad with veggies,
white/milk chocolate cake
cream of broccoli cheese soup
homemade chocolate sauce for a sweet drizzle...

the rest of the afternoon's chatty cluck and sew

This year we are trading 5" RED charm squares.
Each month, the ladies bring their yardage
and we cut them on a STUDIO cutter
Fabric gets ironed, selvages removed, 8 layers are placed on die,
covered with Studio plastic sheet...
ACCUcut - DABRA!
48 squares are cut with ONE crank of the handle!
Quick as wink (well, maybe 20 winks) our squares are traded.

Wow!! What a talented group of ladies!! Yes a cherry on top of a pincushion, great idea. I love the applique quilt, oh my I love it all and even the food looks yummy. I do not have a group, but wish I did! Love your logo but Madame Samm's work is always amazing!
Love the stitchin' chicks, but 'down' comes from a duck - fowl play!
HMM, love the soup and all the goodies. The applique quilt is stunning, but the 'family' quilt is a treasure. Everyone has such lovelies to share.
I belong to a guild, and we hold quilt classes in our home shop 3 days a week - so lots of clucking - well, we do have 1 rooster.
Oh my goodness that friendship quilt! Isn't that a treasure...so precious to that family I'm sure. My Nimble Thimbles group meets next week for our monthly lunch and stitch session. The first week in April my guild has a retreat for four days - I can hardly wait for that. :) blessings, marlene
Oh, that looks like so much fun! And all of you are so talented in so many areas!
Those monkeys are adorable, and the quilt is lovely. Thanks for sharing your time of fellowship with all of us!

Yes, indeed, looks like a very fun and talented group. Love the cherries:) You're very fortunate to have such a treasure in your life. No group here, but I'm hoping to get one together soon. The encouragement of others is always a good motivator.
Have a great weekend.
What wonderful fun you ladies seem to have had .. yay you!! The chicks are adorably aweSAMM ... of course! I'll give you the feathers -- down pun ... pretty good ;) Hugs to you!
