Recap of Bee Nights from October 2022 - May 2023
November 14, 2022 Gnomes Gnomes Everywhere!
November
Bee Night saw sixteen RVQG ladies creating their very cute gnomes, with the
guiding hand and encouragement of Liz F., our guest presenter….thank you Liz!
The
tables were covered in bags of rice, coloured socks, felt, yarn, buttons, fur
and glue guns! Although most had previous experience with glue guns, there were
a few hot glue “ouches” and fingers temporarily glued to gnomes! How quickly we
forget!
After
instruction, much creative thought and crafting skill, our gnome village
emerged! Big and small, unique were all! There’s no doubt that these gnomes
will multiply and claim the hearts of many.
Bee
Night is a wonderful, relaxing way to spend an evening making something special
and enjoying the company of fellow quilters. Putting a name to a face (with a
mask on!) is a reward of friendship worth pursuing…come out and join in the
fun!
The
next Bee Night takes place on January
9th on Zoom. Elaine M. is our guest presenter and she will
be helping us make Hanging Hand Towels. From the comfort of home, with a hot or
cold (?!) beverage of choice, you can welcome in the New Year. Elaine offers many styles of towels to choose
from and video support from You Tube. Sign up at our November 28 meeting or
email www.rvqg.bee.night@gmail.com.
PS:
a BIG thank you to Shirley for helping us with access to Peace Lutheran. And of
course, thanks to the Handywork ladies for adding to the evening’s fun.
Enjoy
your holidays!
