Christmas in July

As moderators of Wednesday Night group of Eastwood Patchwork Quilters, Veronica and I kept this group on their toes. Our calander became a little crowded so we had "Christmas in July" in September! We posted personal invitations to each member requesting their presence with a 'secret' gift to exchange. Little did they know all were asked to make a pin cushion! Here we see members discussing how to put together the pieces of the mystery block, (we added one extra piece to the bag to make it interesting!) Then we challenged the experts to wrap two plastic footballs in a minimum sized piece of very shiny paper, which was provided. Much fun was had by all.
