All My Scattering Moments: Christmas in July part two

Christmas in July part two

This year, I gave the ladies a bandana in either red or blue and challenged them to make something out of it. You were allowed to keep it whole or cut it up as long as you used it in your handmade gift. Each year, the quilt ladies creativity seems to grow. Here are the gifts from this year. You can enlarge this photo to get a good look.....

Grab a cup of coffee or tea and enjoy a slideshow of our evening.....

Part three is next. I design or find a small project each year for the ladies. This year I designed a country mobile to hang in the window. I am going to share this project on my blog. It is very simple and can be sewn in no time so great for gifts.

Until my next post...have a creative and fun weekend!

Must say I did admire your garden and you and Jos have worked so hard.
Wish I lived nearer to you.
