Ready..Set..Party!

The annual"Wanabe Quilters" Christmas party began with scrumptious appetizers.. followed by secret pal gifts...and then a luncheon beyond compare.
Check out these very clever penquin olive appetizers by Phyllis Reddish.

Our hostess Laurie Lyon seemed to like her lion.

Her table runner gift to her secret pal Carol Culbert

Phyllis Reddish wearing her "fascinator hat' brought from New Zealand and a  gifted table runner of her own. Phyllis is dressed pretty sharp as well.

Karon Cornell received this spectacular quilt.

Carol Lundquist received this happy holiday quilt from Hilary

A beautiful use of a friendship knot block. Lucky Nancy Kastner goes home with this one.

Janmarie Halliday was mighty touched with this framed gift made by Nancy.

Carol Pankow loved Thanskgiving all Colors so she really was quite pleased with this quilt from Janmarie.

Mary Lou Ripper received a cleaver bag from Ms. Brodie (seated).

 Then Mary Lou reciprocated with a swedish weaving. BEAUTIFUL!

 I missed a few pics ( either fuzzy or missed foto opp)... but NOBODY missed our beef wellington lunch!

A very happy day indeed!!!!
