Red Hat day and quilting

Did you think I'd run off with my new kitchen assistant? Not so. unfortunately

Thursday was Red Hat day - this is Barb (our Queen and local quilt shop owner) and Anne (her faithful ally). We had our Christmas luncheon at Cottonwood Mansion in Selkirk.
Our surprise entertainment was a brass couplet who serenaded us after lunch. And dear me, is that one of our members having her afternoon nap???
We even sang Christmas carols. When was the last time I did that in public?


I've finished a couple of quilts and started on this beauty. It is VERY HARD to see black thread on busy, black fabrics. All I want for Christmas is some 20-year-old eyes.
