We had three Christmas demonstrations on the night led by Kate Hennessy, Suzanne Pass, and Kate O'Donoghue. The demos are to prepare us for our Christmas "Wrapped" challenge where we are to bring in a small Christmas item for the Christmas party on December 1. We'll also be having a pot luck for food and a wrapped fat quarter gift exchange. The Christmas season has begun!<br />

The main order of business was to announce that Frances Shanahan stepped down as our branch Chairperson. Suzanne Pass stepped up as temporary chairperson and asked if anyone new would be willing to come onto committee. Suzanne thanked everyone for their support over the past few weeks. Imelda O'Grady kindly stepped up onto the Committee, and after the meeting, Kate Hennessy agreed to cover the editorial role that Suzanne had previously covered. Suzanne Pass has officially agreed to step up as Chairperson.</div>

Our meeting was run by Frances Shanahan, our current branch president, and she was extremely complimentary to Tracy Watson who was our speaker for the evening. Frances, along with many members of the branch, went to see Tracy's exhibition last year in Ennistymon. We were all treated to the back story of how Tracy prepared herself for the exhibition and gathered her ideas and pieces together. Tracy displayed her selection of pieces including the "cartoons" that she used to create her curved pieces. She also framed some smaller pieces, which worked quite effectively.<br />

Our Show and Share began with Ruth Bourke showing a few of her pieces. She brought several with her as she was off to Galway in the morning to do a workshop for their branch. She showed her Rainbow Rose which is the piece which represented Ireland in the Diversity gallery at Birmingham Festival of Quilts. She also showed her color Ticker Tape example, which each square a different color. It's a fun way to use up scraps!</div>

We arrived to tea and coffee along with the most delicious little biscuits, and had plenty of time to wander around to shop and visit before the meeting commenced at 11:00. Many members of the Mid-West branch attended. It was also terrific to be able to connect some new faces with names from the many exhibitions. We gathered our Mid-West members for a photo:<br />

Ruth Bourke ran the meeting with style and grace. There is a lot of work being done by the committee, the most largest new piece of work is getting our organization set up to be recognized as a charity. This will allow us a different status and recognition as a group that provides education of the arts. We have a lot going on in terms of public exhibitions!<br />

The quilt making Challenge is always a bit of fun. This year the challenge was to make a Binary quilt, it could be any two colors but could not venture away from those two. Jane Horner helped to hang the quilts in the little mini-quilt show. Many different colors and ideas were represented. The winner of the challenge wins a prize with a mini-quilt. The winner was Linda Cowley, who also won last year, so she won her own little quilt!<br />

We had a delicious lunch with a view of the river, then came back to the hall to chat some more until we were called for the speaker portion of the meeting. Janice Gunner from the UK came to talk about a specialty of hers - Japanese textiles. We were treated to many beautiful fabric examples and the history behind the fabrics as well. Janice has travelled extensively in Japan. Janice prepared a slide show with photos from Japan and the regions that produce the different types of fabrics. <br />

Each year the EQA puts together a gallery in the Birmingham Festival of Quilts where each country contributes an equal number of quilts according to a theme. The quilts must be of a specific size and follow the guidelines that are decided by the international committee. The International Representative for Ireland is a member of our branch, Paula Rafferty. Thank you to Paula Rafferty for her work in helping to make this gallery a huge success. It's the only gallery like it in the Festival of Quilts, and many quilters report it as one of the highlights of the show.<br />
<br />
Ireland always has a wide range of quilts representing quilters throughout Ireland, with all 8 branches of the Irish Patchwork Society invited to to contribute. This year the Irish quilts were on the theme "Inspired by the New York Beauty Block." <br />

They are a group of quilters from Cork with over 25 years together, and many amazing examples of group quilting endeavors. They brought their quilts from an exhibition that they worked on in 2011 inspired by Gee's Bend Quilts. Not only did they use the patterns, but they also made the quilts themselves with fabrics that they already owned, whether from clothes or fabric their stashes. The quilts were amazingly diverse and colorful. <br />
