What's better than our monthly Stitch Day? That would be a Christmas celebration Stitch Day! This took place last Saturday and was no ordinary gathering. We had decided to bring food to share, which is a departure from what we usually do. So no little sack lunches for us! Instead, we feasted on a ham spread appetizer, meatballs, pulled pork sliders and salad. Peggy, our resident baker extraordinaire, provided us with a selection of delicious desserts.
Peggy also made sure that our gift table was festive.
And for when we drew numbers for our gift exchange.

| Now that's pretty creative. |
We each received a festive Christmas cracker and a coffee mug gift package, courtesy of Peggy. I missed the opportunity to take a photo of all of us wearing our paper crowns. You would have loved that! Some boy scouts were visiting the fire station (we meet at a community room adjacent to that) and laughed at us enough. We appreciated all of the work that Peggy put into our gathering to make it extra special!

Oh yes! We also stitched. Here is a sampling of what we were working on.

We did miss two of our group members, Laurie and Thea, who could not attend, and look forward to seeing them in January!
Pat presented each of us with a lovely handmade scarf. What a nice gift, so beautifully crafted. And then we got creative with our scarf display for this photo.
So you can see what a fun and special gathering this was for the Sisters In Stitches. I'm pretty sure that this is something we will be doing again next year!
