Elvis is in the Building

Maria's husband Bob is obsessed with anything Elvis. I made him four Elvis coasters as a thank you for the coffee he makes for our sewing group each week.

Monday Sew Buddies Christmas lunch

Our Monday Sewing group met this Friday for a Christmas lunch.  We sew each week and will begin our weekly laugh sessions with some stitching again in January after the holiday break.

Christmas Lunch

Each year four of us get together for birthday and Christmas lunches.  We recently had our Christmas lunch.  Our favorite place is the Pointe in Tyme at the Hilton.  Great food.  We then go to one of our homes and open our gifts and have dessert and coffee/tea .  Tons of laughter at the restaurant and at the house.  We have a very good time together.

Camelback Inn Lunch

Our dear friend Priscilla invited Ed and I out to lunch with her daughter and our friend Mary.  We went to the Camelback Inn Resort.   It is a beautiful place and wonderfully landscaped grounds.   We had a wonderful lunch and terrific conversation and laughs.

Christmas Bunco

I hosted our group Bunco in December.  I made a Christmas Tissue box cover for each person. 
I am posting most of them.   We had a wonderful evening.  It is so fun to have it at Christmas with the house all decorated.  I had a Nacho Cheese and hot Artichoke Dip first.   Dinner was Lasagna, Green Salad, Croissants, and dessert was Apple Pies in a little canning glass jars.  I also made Jingle Balls from Rice Krispies.  We had a great time.












Christmas Sewing

I went a little crazy with my friends Accu Quilt cutter.  I made three trees and four wreaths.  Once I  had them sewn and the borders on my friend Maria worked her magic and quilted them each in splendid designs.  Four of these left the state for Christmas and one to a friend here.   The other two are mine.
