My blog post titles sure are creative, aren’t they? I think that’s the hardest part of blogging for me. Oh well….on to part 2.
We have a tradition of giving everyone the same gift. In the “olden” days, it was supposed to be something handmade, but over the years, we’ve done away with the rules and anything goes.
Remember these that I showed awhile back?
Well, this is what I gave the girls. (and I made sure all the frames were black).
Done in wool with osnaberg for the background.
Patty gave us these which she made.
All wool with a primitive distressed frame. So cute.
Janet made these.
Wool on silk matka background.
Do you sense a theme going here? I’m so glad I introduced these gals to wool. It’s fun getting gifts like these.
Marsha’s turn.
These are fleece blankets with cupcakes on them. You can’t believe how warm they are. Perfect for our incredibly snowy winter here so far.
Last up….Cathi.
Another theme going here. Snowmen, lots of snowmen. We all love these
“Sam Snowman” calendars and have to have a new one every year.
Thanks girls. You’re the best! I miss you everyday.
What wonderful gifts!! I just love all the wool snowmen in frames. Just darling. Looks like you ladies have a great group!!!

That cupcake print on the fleece is terrific!! What fun...your stitching group does it the same way we do...the same gift is made & I agree, makes life less hectic. Besides we all usually have the same tastes!

ReplyDeleteI've read through your last few blog post and am still drooling over the wonderful photos of her home and all of your gift exchanges! I love the pillow you made with the snowmen heads and plan to refer back here to see if I can make one "someday"....do you all pick a theme for exchanging same sort of gift...example the frames?
