What a night!

All I can say is, "WOW!"

This was the first "Annual Christmas Dinner Meeting" that I've attended with our guild, and it was fabulous! I really liked the pot luck dishes everyone has - it's great to sample everyone's favorites :) And the turkey and trimmings were just wonderful.

The paper piecing displays were spectacular ... lots of fun with the ornament exchange ... what a lot of ingenious creations out of the little square of blue ... and the show and share is an inspiration each and every meeting :)

Well done, everyone!
