Thursday sew Christmas Party

Yesterday was our little Christmas for our Thursday sewing group.  We meet at the quilt shops class room every Thursday to work on quilting projects. It is always a lot of fun.  We decided to have a pot luck would be in order, and of course a gift exchange.  The food was great. We quilters do know how to cook!
Our presents were wonderful.  We bring them wrapped and get to draw a number, and pick a present.

Donna was number 1 and picked this darling table topper made by Cheryl.

Jan was the next and picked mine.  I had made a Tammy Bag, a pattern by Mdm Samm,, from "Sew We Quilt". I love making this bag.

Cheryl picked this darling pillow from Marilyn. It is cross stitched with Merry Christmas and made with gingerbread fabric.

Marilyn received Jo's gift of a darling wool snowman candle mat with a snowman light.
Jo does wonderful hand-stitchery.  

Jo received a neat zipper pouch that has a vinyl front to see what is inside the bag and a cute Christmas wallet, that had a Dairy Queen gift card in it. Donna makes such cute pouches.
I received this gorgeous table runner of Jo Morton fabrics from Jan. Jan is a wonderful and prolific sewer and quilter.  I love this table runner.

In the mail yesterday I received this adorable mini Tammy Bag from Mdn Samm. She even embroidered a sweet flamingo on the front.  It is an ornament for now.  It is a treasured reminder of a lovely friendship that has grown in the past year.
