Pat Pauly's Annual Christmas Party

On Friday it was time for the annual Christmas Party at Pat Pauly's beautiful home. As usual we brought way too much food.

Beautiful decorations and wonderful gifts of course.

We took time out for a little shopping from a box of goodies I found on my trip to Guatemala this month.

And great desserts of course. The cookies spelled Happy Birthday.

And Marcia's terrific pecan tarts. Bet you can't eat just one.

The squirrels have been having a great time with the Halloween Pumpkins in Pat's yard.

Pat Pauly's Opening Night at the Nazareth College Art Gallery

Last evening I had the pleasure of attending the opening of Pat Pauly's One Woman Show at the Nazareth College Art Gallery.

Good friends, good food, and fabulous quilts, what more could you want?

I had seen all but one of these wonderful quilts before but they really looked spectacular with this setting.

The show will be open on Thurs-Sun from 1 to 8 through mid August. Don't miss it if you have the chance.

Christmas Party at Pat Pauly's

There's always time for a bit of shopping before lunch at Pat Pauly's beautiful home. This time it was beautiful kimonos and jackets which Nancy brought back from her trip to Japan.

Then it was time to eat.

After lunch we found time for a bit of critiquing before dessert. Pat was deciding on whether to cut this quilt down to fit the requirements of a show she was considering.

And had a couple of design ideas.

And work in progress.

Linda had a piece made from scraps from another project.

She had several woven pieces made from rolls of strips she purchased at Bits and Pieces.

Nancy had added some found objects to her three pieces from the last challenge.

By then it was time for a delicious apple pie.

Pat's cat came by occasionally to supervise the proceedings.

And we all had to sample Pat's delicious fig cookies.
