As I mentioned before, since we don't meet in December, we exchange Christmas gifts at our first meeting of the year, in January.
This was a great looking group if gifts, impossible to guess what's inside all those packages! Here are just a few ...
an iron caddy ...
... pillows!
a cute doll ...
a pad for under the sewing machine (not sure what to call it!) ...
... a project tote (I nabbed this one!)
I didn't get shots of all the gifts but they were all nice, all hand made, and all well appreciated.
Lots of show and share too; four row-by-row challenge quilts ...
by Loretta
and Carolyn
and Sandra E
and Gwen.
And then there were two paint chip challenge quilts ...
by Sandra E
and Valerie
Next up, "regular" show and tell ...
Gwen's quilt for her granddaughter
Valerie's ladies
Sandy H's circles
Loretta's t-shirt quilt for a family member
and Marlene's portrait of Nelson Mandela.
Lots of pictures this time, I hope you enjoyed them!
Sew forth and sew on til later
Linda
Nice after Christmas party. Much better than after Christmas sales! I loved the variety of hand made gifts. Talented ladies in your guild, loved the post.

A whole lotta wow in your bee's work!
ReplyDeleteI really like the idea of a January gift exchange. It really works for you since it's also your birthday month. I've said it before and I'll say it again -- wow! what a talented group of ladies! Thanks for the beautiful show and tell. Sandy's circles -- love!
