Tag: Flying Needles Quilt Guild

Hi Ladies, I absolutely loved our Christmas exchange this year with Flying Needles Quilt Guild. This Guild is fairly new in age but has such a vested nature in one another and respect for each other that it is a real pleasure to belong to. Since I am one of the founding members, I can truly say how much I love being part of this group. All of the ladies are warm and friendly and open with offering support and praise upon each other. I am related to two of the members in this group Karen R and Colleen M through marriage but I feel a kinship and sister-ship with so many of you.

Here’s some photos of our amazing gift exchange bags and WOW did this ever turn out to be a hit!!

{All of the bags…amazing}

{I think this one is Carol L’s…I love yo-yo’s!}

{Center: Anna with her custom drawn and painted fabric…beautiful, bottom right: Colleen M: with her cute Rice Bag Foot Warmer which I believe Anna B received…hmm was it meant to be?}

{This is the one I received from Riska & I love the colours, thanks for the pretzels and the matching fabrics, I will put those to good use :)}

{I must also give a shout out to Mary D (I think) as she made about 30+ of these fabric wrapped Christmas crackers complete with little inspirational saying, needles, candies and so much more, thanks so much what a nice treat and surprise!!}

++++++++++

I also wanted to thank Robyn for the amazing home made Egg Nog which I LOVED (sorry if some of you didn’t get to try it as I did have a couple of helpings…:)

I heard from so many of you through-out the day about how much you loved this gift exchange. It didn’t seem to feel like a challenge this year to come up with something and I don’t think one person in the room felt dissapointed with what they received, so great on all of you for making this special for all of us 🙂 From the overwhelming comments about doing this again next year, we’ll (I’ll) see what we can do:)

To those ladies who couldn’t be with us for whatever busy reason that happens this time of year, we missed you! Please also keep Shirley H in our prayers and thoughts.

Have a wonderful Christmas, Flying Needles Quilt Guild and a Happy New Year.
