The Thursday Lunch group had their Christmas party Dec. 12 at Mary Maestri's in Springdale. Susan and Estela brought their husbands which added to our fun. The food was great and it was really happy luncheon. Gifts and cards were handed out so everyone got goodies to go with their leftovers!
(Marcia was there but was taking the photos.)
Afterwards, many of us went to LA Quilting in Lowell and spent a little Christmas money on fabric.
Then that same evening the club had our Christmas party at Jim's Razorback Pizza in Farmington. For most of us that meant two parties in one day! Woohoo! Members attending were Debbie, Sharon, Meg, Sylvia, Sheila, Cyndi, Marcia, Mozelle, Estela, and Susan. Joining us were Cyndi's daughter in law, Stephanie, and granddaughter Olivia.
Marcia passed out the instructions for the last BOM, Snail's Trail.
We then had a Dirty Santa gift exchange. Everyone brought a wrapped gift, then one at a time we either unwrapped a gift or "stole" one from someone else. We all had fun and ended up with some nice gifts.
Debbie got a container and a jelly roll of fabric.
Sharon got a reusable gift box with a candle.
Meg got a lovely candle warmer and flameless candle.
Sheila got a lovely sewing basket with some notions inside.
Estela got a lovely wall-hanging kit.
Mozelle's gift was an armchair caddy to hold sewing supplies or the TV remote. I love that Razorback fabric!
Sylvia brought this wall plaque and stole it back!
Cyndi got a Cake Pop kit.
Stephanie scored a beautiful scarf.
Even Olivia had a gift to take home.
Susan got a quilt setting kit.
Marcia ended up with a lovely sewing machine apron and a lavender scented neck warmer.
Everyone was reminded to pay their yearly dues next month. Meg needs $10 from each of us, and we need to make sure she has our correct personal info so a new roster can be distributed.
Sharon informed us that she is leaving the group, as she is not able to participate very often. We will miss you, Sharon!
The next meeting will be January 9th at Meg's house, hosted by Meg and Marcia.
