Quilters Christmas Party

We had our first Christmas gathering with quilting friends last Thursday. The Liberty Ladies group I belong to does an annual Cookie and Gift Exchange. This year, as always, everyone had a great time...visiting, sharing and planning for what we will be doing in 2012. This year has been focusing on the Anniversary of the Civil War and next year is the War of 1812 (visit Barbara Brackman's blog)

Everyone brought cookies to exchange and we all came home with a nice variety of sweet things for ourselves family members.

And then the gift exchange...oh my! We drew numbers and each gift had a corresponding number, so we had no idea what was in it or who made it until the final reveal. 
Fun little wool appliqued purses for going out and about...

Unique needlecases...a wooden case with 2 levels and silk ribbons...

A tiny Whitman's Sampler tin outfitted to hold needlework tools...

One of the ladies does a cross stitched Santa every year...
This little wool table mat featured beading and also included a Santa ornament...
A Christmas wreath made using the Lil' Twister ruler and a vintage-look ornament...
And some little quilts - from dolly size complete with a pillow pincushion and crocheted angel...
A little nine patch made with William Morris reproduction fabrics...
This lovely star is made using Lately Arrived From London fabric
And lots of HST's in this nice quilt made from a Lori Schmidt pattern..
This is the little quilt I made from Jo Morton's Small Quilts and Vintage Charm book...
And so another holiday is kicked off with fun and friendship...with busy days ahead...
Wishing each of you days filled with friends and special moments.
