Christmas Party, Show N Tell, and Annual Ornament Exchange

First we had really good food, and wonderful green punch from our hostess Barbara.

                   And then we exchanged ornaments.  Very fun.

SHOW AND TELL IS ALWAYS A FAVORITE TIME

 Priscilla, inspired by the picture below of a tree she took, is working on this felted wall hanging.

The base of this hanging was a large piece of felt that I made several years  ago.  My original plan was to hand stitch on it but after seeing the “mother trees” in the Olympic National Park this past Sept I decided to create a felted mother tree.  I made a felt mask to match the base and many felt ropes to simulate the new tree trunk and its roots wrapping around “mother” to reach into the ground below.

She also has been experimenting forming masks out of wool and silk over a plastic form.

Wendy made 6 placemats from half square triangles. 

She also finished a quilt top from the Mod Mountain pattern from Suzy Quilts. 

Jennifer has been busy making Santas to sell.

Linda made another fleece jacket.  Great pattern and fit. 

Carol has been busy spinning wool, she then plys it with a store bought yarn.  More yardage and added texture.

There is always a lot of static when we get together, but nevertheless, a lot of fun.
