Hello everyone,
What a fabulous Christmas Party we enjoyed together this past Monday. Some of our members wished to attend but couldn't and we certainly missed them. Here are some highlights from our festive hook-in to share with you.

Dawna and Kitt did most of the work to prepare the paper bag auction, all the proceeds going to a
local food bank.

| Karen tries her luck for item #3. |
 |
| Another highlight of our Christmas Party is our potluck luncheon. |
 |
| Scrumptious savoury dishes, followed by delicious and delightful desserts. |
Lunch was followed by a Christmas gift exchange.
 |
| Participants each contributed a hand-crafted Christmas ornament, then distributed at random. |
 |
| Can you see the delight in
everyone’s faces? |

“The guild is far too generous, and not necessary” says Emmy but she absolutely loves her gift! Made by many heads and hands together, it’s a little gripper frame for mini-punch work crafted by Jacques and with a protective cover created by Dawna. Emmy is on a roll now and will start mini-rug #3 for our 50 mini-rugs for our 50th anniversary!
The party ended with handing out the door prizes to the lucky winners. Many thanks to everyone who contributed in so many ways to making this fabulous party happen.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all!
Cheers,
Emmy
