Quilter's Christmas Party

The UFO Christmas party was held December 14 in Rio Rancho at a member's home. I had been looking forward to this for awhile and was so excited to go. The day of the party it had started to snow and the weatherman said it was going to get bad. I had gone back and forth about going and finally decided to go. Mike was going to watch the kids but then something came up at work and he was not able to. Thankfully, our dear friend Michelle stepped in and was able to watch the kids for half a day. Anyway, going down the canyon was a little scary but once I got into Albuquerque it was fine. Here are some pictures of all the creative things everyone made. I was not able to stay for the whole party so I really don't know who made what. I didn't even get a picture of the quilt JoAnn made for me. I love it! I will have to get a picture and post it later.


This is a stocking I made years ago for Colleen.



This year I made a gift for JoAnn. Instead of quiting the finished project I decided to frame it! I thought this was very cleaver of myself!



I made Donna this chicken and also framed it. I made her a chicken because she has a few chickens as pets in her backyard. They are so cute!

This picture is not right side up - it is a quilt made of gifts. My Mom made this for her gift to exchange.

This is a picture of out group. Delores made a very nice quilt block for everyone!

Barbara made this and quilted it for a family member.

A sweat shirt made into a jacket for Delores.

Horse quilt that I really like.

Our Lady of Pagossa. This quilt was great! I think Lynn made this for Margaret. She lives in Pagossa, and loves dogs. The earring is a dog tag!

Another pretty Christmas quilt

I wish I was able to stay for the entire party so I could have seen all the great gifts in person. My Mom took all the pictures for me so I could see what everyone got. When I left Rio Rancho it was really starting to snow. As I drove through Albuquerque the snow storm seemed to be swirling around so sometimes I would have clear skies and then other times it was snowing. When I got to Tijeras it was a white out! It was the worst snow storm I had ever been in! I couldn't see the lines on the road or the cars in front of me. I was so scared! Somehow I got home and made it safe. Within an hour of getting home the snow storm had passed and the sky was blue! This is crazy weather we have!
