A Fibre Friends Christmas: Part 1

Our Fibre Friends group meets once a month for lunch and an afternoon of stitching. Every January we exchange bags of fat quarters and then have until December to make a quilt for one of our friends. On Friday we met at Dyane's house for the 2009 exchange.

Dyane's home was a Christmas wonderland! Have a look at some of her decorations.


This drum was used by Dyane's father many years ago and now she uses it to display some of her many stuffed doll and teddy bears.

A closer look at the teddy bears.
The fireplace mantle is decorated with hand-made choristers.

Dyane served a wonderful lunch with the help of her husband, Rene

And, of course, my favourite part - dessert!

Watch tomorrow's blog for some pictures of the amazing quilts we received.

A Fibre Friends Christmas

Our Fibre Friends group meets once a month to work on our quilts and share ideas. Each year in February we exchange 8 fat quarters and then we have until the next December to make a quilt for the person who gave us the fabric. Of course everything is a big secret until the quilts are presented to their owners. Yesterday we met for a delicious lunch and the exchange of quilts. Here are some pictures of the wonderful quilts we received. More pictures coming soon!
