More about the Sunday Stitchers' Christmas...


In the last post I wrote about the Secret Santa gifts that we exchanged yesterday. 
We meet these days at the community centre in Coomera; it's nice and spacious accomodation there.
Looks like everyone but Cheryl has just left their stitching and 'up and left!'...
No, we have just moved to another part of this large room!
So what is everyone standing around and looking at?
Not 'what', but 'who'; Noela and Helen!

Each month the 'birthday girls' receive a fat quarter from all of us. And these ladies are the December Birthday girls. 
The morning just flew and it wasn't long until it was lunch...and what a spread that was!

And best of all, I ate a small helping of 'regular food'...no puréed stuff at all! I had some zucchini slice, potato bake, potato salad and a tiny piece of chicken...it all tasted (and looked) wonderful! And then I had some cake with custard ( the diet sheet says cake is okay as long as it's covered with custard so it's moist)...magnifique!! Lol
As well as the Secret Santa gifts, there were some extra gifts given out; some very generous ladies had made gifts for all of us...

One of these gifts was a 'cutlery roll'...

which unrolled to become a place mat...
But wait there's more...here's a closer look at the cutlery...
Yes we all had our names on the handles...how special is that!
So what a wonderful day we all had being spoiled, eating lovely food and being part of such a wonderful group of ladies.
