Lake and Mountain Quilt Guild Christmas meeting



In December members who wish to participate draw names for a secret stitcher. Next year at the Christmas party the Secret Stitcher will be unveiled. Here Penny N. finds out that Barbara H. is her SS.

One of the projects for LMQG during the holiday season is to make stockings. We have four groups that these are presented to over the holidays. We also collected a whopping $617.00 to fill those stockings. A big hand to our members.

The last flowers of summer



We are expecting a hard freeze tonight so my husband picked all the flowers that he thought would be either killed or damaged by the freeze. Fortunately for the South we have camellias that bloom all Winter. While the bud will stand a hard freeze the open bloom will not. So tonight we have a house full of fresh flowers. Hope you enjoy!

These Knock Out Roses sure live up to their name. My husband picked these as well as all the other flowers in these photos today. We are expecting a hard freeze tonight and we love to enjoy the last Roses of Summer.

These are the last of my hydrangea's. The shrub is hard to beat for longevity. It starts blooming in June and here it is Dec. 5th and we still have color. I have to admit this has been an extraordinary long season for us.
