Sunday Stitchers Christmas Party 2020

 Well folks this post is very photo heavy, so you may need a cuppa to get through it! 

Yesterday Sunday Stitchers finished off this crazy year with a fun and festive flourish! 

We had two birthday girls.....Helen is our patient paparazzi. She documents all our doings for us.....

And Noela who sadly couldn't attend...this is Susan her birthday fairy with her goodies. 

Our gift giving this year was a reversible placemat and coaster swap....Christmas one side, everyday on the other. Inca was my Secret Santa and this is my placemat.


Lovely isn't it!  Maria received the one I made.

The other tradition is a Bon Bon swap.......inside we have to try and fit in....
1. A fat quarter 2. A button 3. An ornament 4. A treat 5. A surprise.
Trust me squeezing all that in is no mean feat.

I received mine from Marilyn....lovely goodies! 

Sandi once again made us a wonderful, fun photo frame to play with and bought props along as well. NOT BORING (you will see on the frame) is our group motto......and we try  hard to live up to it lol! Yours truly.....
The Southside girls...

The rest of the gang.....

Before we hopped across the road to Norfolk Tavern for lunch we squeezed in some UFOS and Show and Tell.....
Helens lovely Christmas quilt that gave her some angst..... but its beautiful now!
Quilts by Inca, Marilyn, and Susan and little zippy pouches in Liberty from Lynda.

And the prettiest little beaded Christmas ornament from Lynda..

Lovely Christmas goodies were given and received....

And this ornie from Helen, Sandi and Nor just about sums up 2020!

Our last job for the year was to mark the progress on our SAL Heartstrings. Our very loose schedule was to have the centre panel completed by Christmas breakup.

They are all looking wonderful.....and the variation in colour and fabric choice was so interesting! This is my Heartstrings centre.

So as they say in the movies.....that's a wrap! We certainly finished the year with a great day!
We are having some very wild weather up here in Queensland at the moment......so I am curling up with a book and a warm cuppa.


Namaste and Blessings Michelle xxx

    On your last post, I must say what a lovely lot of Christmas around your house. SO much beautiful handwork. Love to see these ladies enjoying a great get together. All the lovely gifts and stitching as well. I looked at your photos on large and loved that Santa feet head band. Btw, also love your drawing in your header.
