Pueblo West Quilters Christmas Dinner and Party

This year of Quilting Adventures with the Pueblo West Quilters has come to a close with an outstanding Christmas Dinner and Party.

The Committee did an awesome job of making this a funfilled ending to the year.

There are pictures to check out, so see the bottom of this blog site under the heading of Shutterfly Photos for all the photos taken.

So on to the New Year - 2009 - What quilting adventures lurk with the arrival of our new board.


To start the year off we have a Block of the Month Pattern - Annie's Choice - is the block name and is to be done in Any Bright color with Black Background as shown in this demonstration.



The Block of the Month for December was won by Laura (she is hiding behind the cute Penguin which is one of the blocks she won)

Also the Presidents Block is being collected so if you have one try to bring it in January, some remembered theirs this month.


Let's join our New Board in January for all that is to be in the New Year!
