Giftys

We always draw names around October for Secret Santa gifts. That gives us lots of time for shopping for the "perfect gift".


This is what Patty gave Cathi.


So then, Cathi gave me this wonderful Brighton necklace.

My turn...I gave Patty this little table topper that I made along with a framed quilt/stitchery and a braided table runner that I got from Karen at Farmhouse Woolens. I forgot to take pictures of the ensemble so maybe Patty can send me pictures of what she did with them and I'll post it.

That left Marsha who made this fun Mary Englebreit panel quilt for Janet (Myrtle).

And Myrtle gave Marsha this fun assortment of goodies. The doll is lifesize and so darn cute! Sorry for the quality of the picture but it was getting late. LOL. If you click on the picture you can see everything a bit better.

Then, another tradition we started a long time ago is giving everyone the same thing. It used to have to be homemade, but that part of the tradition has since fallen by the wayside..

This big Santa was given to each of us by Patty. Isn't he cute? The soles on his big feet are a riot!

Sparkle snowman guy was given to us all by Myrtle.

Cathi got this adorable flag for everyone.

Marsha made everyone a quilted tree skirt but we all decided they made great choir collars, so we did our best rendition of "Ave Maria". LOL

Here's where I put mine after I got home. Next year it will go under a tree.

Of course, Jack had to be part of the picture.

And this is what I gave everyone. Remember the snowman pillow during my "power sewing"?

Well, this is how many I made. Sure glad I challenged myself.

So, needless to say, we had a blast and the party finally wound down around 1:30am. Yes, that's AM as in AFTER midnight! In our younger days, we would go even later....or should that be earlier. These older bodies can't take those hours anymore. :-)

Thanks guys for another fun party!
