We move all our furniture back to give us extra space and the room is set for a fun evening...
Now all we need are the quilt ladies themselves...
Even Dagi, our cat, was waiting patiently for all his 'girlfriends' to arrive...
Christmas cards laid out on the table for everyone to stop by and pick up theirs before going home...
Each person exchanges a gift which this year had a theme of flowers. I got a mirrored picture frame with flower motif and silk rose petals...
It is a full house with our 12 members and myself. We have been together for a good number of years now and it is a very close knit group...
I gave them a glimpse of our 2008 theme in the newsletter. We are going to be making medallion quilts. They will become very personal as I will give them a goal starting with the center block and they must decide themselves on the exact patchwork blocks they wish to use as well as their colors and fabrics. Everyone says they are excited to start the new theme...
I was spoiled with lots of little gifts to thank me for doing the quilt group. Just knowing this wonderful group of ladies is thanks enough!

Oh, I wish I could have been there.
I know all these ladies and I feel they are my friends too. All the gifts look so nice. They are all so thoughtful. You should have taken photos of all of them, I see Meip, Joke, Enny and Saskia and Meika. Now where are the others?
It sure looked like a fun night.
Love you, Mom

Hello Heidi,
When you read this before you leave to your cottage: there is a little message for you on my blog.
Bye! Carolien
Heidi - Your rooms look so warm, wonderful, cozy, and inviting. I am most certain that your quilt group is quite thankful for you as I can only imagine how blessed their lives are because of you. Thank you for sharing these photos and this party with all of us.

You take care and look forward to more later on.

What a precious gift to have a wonderful group who share a passion that has grown thru the years! What a special evening, and I love Dagi waiting for his "girlfriends"!! : )
I am excited to see what everyone creates this year, too
I know you won't read this until your back from Cranberry Cottage, but I hope you have a wonderful holiday season.
Your home looks so pretty and full of holiday splendor and your evening with your quilting friends looked like fun.
