I am incredibly blessed to have several groups of good friends. My quilt group includes old and new friends that I just love. This is Kris, Jeanee, Elaine, Georgia, Rose, Sylvia, and me. Let's see. Who was taking the picture?...Oh, yes...Kimberly! Did I mention I love these ladies?
We get together about five or six times a year to sew and visit. In December we have our annual cookie exchange. (Kimberly, Sylvia, and Kris.)
Did I mention my husband loves these ladies too? Last week he enjoyed their fudge, caramel popcorn, coconut-lime sugar cookies, pumpkin cookies w/penuche frosting, chocolate chip pecan cake, chocolate nut cookies, and homemade salsa.
This is the group's junior member. We consider Macie "our baby," although she really belongs to Georgia, who delighted us by having her last year when her other children were 20, 16, and 14!
I put my chocolate nut cookies in these cute Martha Stewart boxes for the exchange.
Since this is a sewing group, I also made each friend a decorated jar of thread. They turned out pretty cute! Oh wait, and did I mention I really love the ladies in my quilt group??

Hey I recognize a lot of these ladies! Looks like so much fun & your jars of thread are very cute!
Linda you are so talented! The jars are darling! Wish I lived close enough to participate in all your fun stuff!!
The boxes you used for your cookies are really lovely. In the first picture I wasn't sure if they were a complicated gingerbread house or not! I also really like your thread jars. I'm always so impressed by how you find time to do so many projects like this... I need to take lessons from you!
I really feel the need to say how much we all love Linda! The cookie exchange was definately a highlight and I LOVE my cute thread jar. Wishing you and yours a wonderful Christmas!
After a two-year absence I can't tell you how nice it was to hang out with you sew-and-sews. Some of the best cooks I have ever had the pleasure of hanging out with and fun to boot! Thank you for a wonderful day of friendship and delicious food.
I want to be in your club. I love the jars!
