Lunch with friends.....

 It has been a while since I have posted on this blog........I haven't even posted any photos from our Xmas in July party.....and today I'm writing about our Xmas lunch that we had at the shop yesterday.....most years for our Xmas lunch at a local cafe, but this year we decided to extend our class and everyone brings a plate to share..........there were 11 of us and most of us bought at least two small plates of food to share.......wow....what a feast we ended up with....

some of the food for lunch

What a great group......where is Renarta.....she has the wine...

The Thursday ladies are a great group, we enjoy each other company and although not everyone can come along each week just about everyone turned up yesterday........Julie suggested this we make pillowcases for kids with cancer for our Xmas sewing day......what a great idea....everyone came loaded with bright happy colourful fabrics and we made 13 pillowcases........Cindy had started making some cases before class and finished 7 cases.......so we have 20 pillowcases to send off to a Children's Ward in Brisbane next week......
