Email me privately, so we have an idea of numbers for seating.

Bring along (not compulsory):

A Gift to Recycle and Swap...
One that you already have and wish to recycle. (It¹s become a tradition of
the Sydney SCQuilters to swap unwanted gifts, the weirder the better but
something that is in good condition that you have received, never used and
is too good to throw out! Some very weird and wonderful gifts have surfaced
over the years, but some treasures have also surfaced as well... And
continue to surface.)

Sewing and Show and Tell...
Bring lots to show, this is the last Show & Tell for 2012, after all ,so there will be lots of photos taken to put on the blog

Carrum Downs group meeting

Our Carrum Downs girls had another busy face-to-face meeting in November, which was also their AGM. (SCQuilters is a virtual entity but our real world entities have to follow the rules for groups!) A big thank you goes to Ramona who has been keeping this group (mostly) on the straight and narrow for ages! She hands the baton of group management over to Simone and the two Marilyns.

Their next meeting is their Christmas/end of year meeting on Wednesday December the 3rd.
Helen says: "It will be our “All singing, all dancing Christmas extravaganza”; CDs from the official “Evans Daggy Christmas Collection” will be played for your listening pleasure.
A Christmas quiz may take place. There may be a special prize for the Christmas quiz, which may take place."

As well as normal show and tell, members will bring Christmas themed show and tell – it can be a little decoration or a huge quilt – anything you have made especially for Christmas.
There will be a Kris Kringle pressie swap – a gift of around $15 –$20, home made or purchased.

Please bring a small plate of food to share for the special lunch.  If anyone has some special Christmas decorations, please bring them along on the day.

Sounds like they'll have a fun time as always!
