2020 Holiday Party

 Our holiday party is coming up! This event has been a fun tradition for GLMQG every December. This year, we will party on Zoom, but it will be no less festive!

Tuesday, December 8, 2020
7:00 pm
Desserts, Drinks, Gift Exchange & Gab

Desserts and Drinks

We normally share a meal together during our holiday gathering. This year, we invite you to have dinner with your loved ones before joining us for desserts and after-dinner drinks! 

Prepare a yummy holiday dessert, like the ones suggested below and share with the group how it turned out! If you used our suggested recipe, how was it? If you made something with your own recipe, be prepared to share the recipe (only if it's good (just kidding (not really))).

Here are some suggestions for warming and festive drinks. Again, if you have a great alternative, please share with the group!

Gift Exchange

We normally exchange hand-made items at the holiday gathering.  We thought, why should that change during distance gathering! A couple weeks ago we posted a signup form for participating in a Holiday Quilted/Fabric Postcard Exchange. We are so excited to see what everyone creates for their postcard partner!

A few resources if you need help getting started on a fabric postcard:

If you signed up for the exchange, please check your email for a note from Pam about who you are making your postcard for, and her address. Send your postcard in time for it to arrive before the party on December 8. We suggest getting it in the mail by November 30, if using USPS. Please check with your local post office for mailing guidelines and postage. Of course, personal deliveries are also appropriate if within your reach. 

At the party, we'll each show the postcard we received and have a chance to thank the maker and hear her comments about the experience. 

We are looking forward to seeing you all on Zoom on December 8! The Zoom link will be sent to membership at least a day in advance.  In the meantime, if you have questions please post a comment below or email glmodernquilter@gmail.com
