Graceful Quilters Christmas Party 2012

Of course, we first had to eat dinner! We had great food at our local Stagecoach Restaurant. Keep your eyes on Shirley, she is a gift stealer!
Will Barbara, Kathy and Maxine ever get to eat? Another person to watch is Kathy. Later she ends up stealing a gift. YIKES!
Cathy is patiently waiting. Lara is working on her strategy to steal a gift later.
Becky is having lots of fun visiting. Beatrice is wondering where to sit later so she can see and touch ALL of the gifts.
We couldn't have dinner without dessert afterwards. YUMMY!
Kay brought a special project for us to do. Can you guess what it is? Kathy looks like she is working, but she is also working on her gift stealing strategy. Who knew . . .
Jewell, Lynda, Barbara and Becky are working on their project.
Everyone is still working . . . . Kathy is still working on her strategy disguised as working on her project.
Here they are . . . small Christmas boxes!
Aren't they neat?

Our humble little Christmas tree.
Everyone enjoying our delicious snacks. Shirley is contemplating now on how to steal a gift later! You notice she is sitting next to Lara who also steals gifts!
Cathy showing us her new bag. Becky is still visiting!
The gift exchange begins . . . Kay with her Elvis smile . . we didn't know she could do that! She lost that gift later to Beatrice.

Lynda with all of her purple fabric!
Maxine looking through her sewing goodies.

Becky telling Bea to keep her hands off of her gift!

Barbara telling Bea to keep her hands off of her gift, too!  























































































Cathy with her purple fabric. How pretty and nice.
Darlene with her reindeer sleigh.

Jewel got a Rudolph decoration to match the Santa she has.
Sue is now our expert in quilting since she received a quilting handbook. Keep her phone number handy!
Louise has a new purse to take to church.

Oh, here is Beatrice minding her own business, after all. Or does she want to touch Louise's Christmas box? I think she has her eye on it, don't you?
MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL. And in the words of Tiny Tim from Charles Dickens' "A Christmas Carol", "MAY GOD BLESS US EVERYONE".
