Thank you Ann for the lovely centre pieces.

We had finger food, and it was fantastic!

We had lots to choose from. Yummy!

And the desserts......




Myrna made a felted picture, it's just georgeous! Love the colours!
Bea made the ragged edge quilt, here are her very first woven tea towels.
Bea also did some sewing, made a denim tote bag, 5 aprons and 

Rod and Bea also wove some scarves.  Lots got done this summer!

The green and orange woven blankets were Rod and Beas too.
Tea towels and a knitted touque by Elvi.
Felted scarf was made by Jennifer Rogers.

Gabriele wove a bunch of tea towels.  Love the black in them.

Darlene made some amazing knitted toques!

I believe these are Elvi's tea towels.  She went on vacation
and only brought along enough yarn to knit a toque and a half.
Here is one of them.

Mona's spinning is unbelievable! The white is dog hair!

Lis wove some beautiful shawls.

Noelle wove these tea towels.

Noelle wove this beautiful blanket, she said she was destashing
her yarn supply!  This turned out just beautiful!

Gudie is always upcyclying something. She had to figured out
a knit pattern that she had to learn to finish this top.

Here is another sweater Gudie has upcycled!

Carole`s knitted mitten from Sherry`s workshop.

Ann dyed her green spun yarn with purple koolaid,
end result..... these beautiful knitted socks!

Ann also made this beautiful wrap on a tri-loom!

Turned out just beautiful! Something nice and warm to cozy
up to inside now that we finally have snow!

Spin-In at Michelle's
What a great visit we had at Michelle's after such a busy September and October!  
It seemed like there were more knitters than spinner today but just the same we all had a wonderful visit!  Thank you too Michelle for your wonderful soups! I had a taste of both! 
And the dessert.... we were so spoiled with great company and a wonderful lunch.
