Thursday was the night of the annual Christmas party for the Cotton Patch Quilters of Kern County. Our emcee for the evening was Santa. Some of us know him as "Bob".
The hall was full with our guild members and their guests.
This is the table where the Sewful Sisters and their guests sat.
From left to right is Lois and her husband, Richard. The gentleman to his right is also named Richard, and is sitting next to wife, Donna.
June is in the black top, and Celia is wearing dark red.
Our own Jennifer is sitting to the far right. The empty chair next to her is mine.
The first order of business was to play a dice game. The goal was to win all of the fat quarters that had previously been distributed to everyone at each table. There were ten tables in all. Interestingly enough, men who were guests won the pot at six out of the ten tables. Sort of ironic since most of them admitted that they didn't understand what a fat quarter might be.
Our table was no exception. Donna's husband, Richard, claimed the prize. We are eagerly looking forward to his first quilt.
Next we had a delicious meal of shredded beef, pan potatoes, chili beans, cole slaw, bread rolls, and a choice of pumpkin pie, pecan pie, or cookies.
Following dinner, we were treated to music by the
Montage Women's Acapella Group
Their Musical Director is Erin Lunn.
Not to be outdone, the Golden Empire Men's Barber Shop Group shared their impeccable renditions of both traditional and innovative Christmas carols. Their Musical Director is Bob Cathaway.
Finally, it was time for Santa to say "Merry Christmas and Good Night".
What a lovely party that looks, Wish I was there
