The swaps were completed and the big night is here...the annual Wednesday Bag Ladies Christmas party!! WooHoo!! The Bag Ladies got our name from the obvious....we sew together on Wednesdays!
Each year we put in a piece of fabric, they all go into brown bags and we select blindly. It's so much fun to make the swaps and even more fun to exchange. We always crack up laughing as a good number of us cannot remember which fabric we put in!
The first to be opened was this sweet little quilt...the swap fabric was the snowman toss that was turned into ornaments!
The swapper (Kathy) and swappee (Donna) come together to take a picture....
Lorraine received this wall-hanging from Laura. In Wanchese NC, there is a large population of horses and riders, which some may find unusual considering it's on a barrier island. The horses with wreathes fit in with that and the bottom of the piece had gorgeous trim that looked like a horses trimmed mane!
Nancy used the wedge ruler and Laura's red fabric to make a gorgeous table topper!
Joan used the Cyl's Christmas floral as a border for a Lil Twister wreath on a wall-hanging.
Nancy used the really pretty holly print (that she loaned me) to make a Christmas tree wall hanging and some adorable embellished towels.
Colleen used Nancy's Christmas floral to do some border magic on a panel.
I used Colleen's Grinch toss....and confirmed that she has no more of this fabric for swapping next year!
Here we are at last year's party, with the Grinchy toss fabric incorporated into the wall-hanging I made. :)
Merry Christmas 2014 Wednesday Bag Ladies!!
