Woolies party



My Woolies group got together this week for our Christmas potluck and had a very colorful day!


We made little gifts for everyone, including Karen's cute thread catchers (above), Judy's zippered vinyl pouches (below) ...


... Nancy's decorative clip to hold open the pages of a book, and Mary's wool mitten ornaments. There was more, but this gives you the idea.


Then there was the food, THE FOOD, starting with Mary's star bread.



It was all so delicious! I made spinach balls from an old recipe of my mom's that she got from a Pittsburgh cook book ages ago.


Pam's house was beautifully decorated, with some old-fashioned ornaments ...


... and, naturally, Christmas wool quilts and this mitten table runner.


Next up was show and tell. Here are just a few, starting with Pam's project. She dyed those luscious blue and green background pieces.


This soft, neutral-colored  flower quilt is by Judy.


Carolynn had two finished projects, a bird table runner ...


... and a cactus quilt.


Audrey's quilt isn't wool, but it is appliquéd and she ice-dyed the leaf fabric to get those beautiful mottled colors.


That wraps up our party report! I'll leave you with another gem from a Facebook post:


 Have a colorful day
