Brown bag challenges revealed!

The December meeting was fun for all, and not just because the food was so good!  (but as always, the food was so good  people were groaning about how much they ate!)
Our regular show and tell line was short this month...

Kathi Everett's stocking for her online group.
 There's a better picture of this at Kathi's blog!
This bag made with duct tape and a t-shirt will also go to Kathi's secret sister
This was made with felt Mary Lee gave her


Tracy made this for Kathi using an antique quilt.
Tracy Jachimowicz enjoyed making stockings, so she made an extra!

Tracy made this for the Silent auction. (hint, hint!)
