This is crazy picture heavy. Would have tried to spread it out but then with shopping, wrapping etc.
In my last post I told you I'd share how I finished this piece. Diane of Nan's Needlework Notions taught me how to make a cube this past summer. I finally made one on my own. I love how it turned out.
Linda K. (pictured below) has been gifting me all year as my secret stitcher. I thought I would give her the cube. Something a little different.
She made me this wonderful ornament. She made me some wonderful pillows this past year.
Our guild celebrated with a Christmas party earlier in December. Lisa, The Inspired Stitcher showed quite a few pictures from the party so, I hope some of these are different. We have two ornament exchanges. The secret stitchers and guild members who wish to exchange. There also is a display area to show stitched pieces.
Christie of Indigo Rain stitched 'JOY'.
Maribeth stitched this sampler. The birds are in her favorite color, purple.
Group photo op. Meem, Lisa, Patti and Christie. Stitching peeps.
This is the ornament I got in the exchange .
I was Christie's secret stitcher all year and she stitched this one for me. Pretty.
Patti gave each of her peeps a salt cellar with our initials stitched. I LOVE this. Extraordinary. Tiny. Gorgeous.
Christie gave each of us a jewelry pouch and yummy chocolates.
Lisa gave us each a cool new tin and matching floss to stitch the inside goodies. My favorite colors.
All the guild members in attendance received a cute jar pin cushion. I chose blue, my favorite color.
This was my last gift from Linda, my secret stitcher. A 31 container holding lots of goodies.
Love all my goodies.
I have one more ornament to show you. Next time.

What a FUN post Marsha! Great ornaments, and lovely goodies you got. I love the Whitman tin and floss to match - how cool is that?
Looks like you had a wonderful time:)
love Annette
Wow! Great post! I loved seeing everything! Love what you made and what you received. And loved seeing all the stitching and the gifts and everything at the party! So great!
Wow! How beautiful and fun.
A wonderful post with sooo much to enjoy. Thank you for sharing.
You are so lucky to have such a great active stitching group nearby, Marcia! Loved seeing the photos of your friends and all of the pretty stitching--look forward to more in 2013 :)
Linda really spoiled you this year. What fun! It was a great party. I didn't realize you made the cube. Well done! I hope you had a good Christmas. Hugs!
What a fun group of ladies! All the gifts are wonderful. I know how much it means to be part of a group that inspires.
In fact, I am sitting here on New Year's Eve working on my samples to share with my quilt group for our first 2013 meeting this week. We are going to have another fun year.
I wish you a wonderfully creative New Year Marsha! I am looking forward to keeping in touch throughout.
Hugs from Holland ~
