Every Sewing Basket of Victoria (SBOV) meeting has themes, and today's theme is Christmas in July, in August. We could not meet in July so we had our meeting in August. It was lovely because this way we have Christmas in winter instead of in the summer. It was very nice to have a heater on and to have nice warm clothes. I have chosen red for our theme today. We agreed to bring small handmade gifts for exchange as well as making something too.
This is us posing for a photo before we started our day. We all dressed up as Christmassy as we could. I was wearing this beautiful velvet dress that I only wore once at DS's wedding. It's red and warm. Lynette always wear a hat at every occasion and Lynda was with her decorated Christmas t-shirt.
These are the little gifts I made for Lynette and Lynda. Little pillow ornaments with cross stitches on the front and Christmas fabric on the back.
The poinsettia was leftover from last Christmas. The green shoots are starting to show, but the red leaves are still visible. You can see the table setting with unopened gifts.
Lynette is showing off her Granny rug that she rescued. She re-purposed it with her handy work of crochet around the edges and some hand crochet flower motives. It's Lynette's pride and joy. It looks such a happy and colourful rug.
