The Holly Bazaar

Well, today was the day - the Holly Bazaar. All of the frantic last minute sewing was set aside for a couple of all-out evenings of baking, and soon this...
this...
















and this...
















were replaced with this...
















this...
















and this. Lots of favourites along with a new (and delicious) recipe for Cherry-Pecan Oatmeal Cookies. So. Good. Makes me want to make a cup of tea just thinking about them.














My bowl of Moravian Stars had grown to a little over 30 and they all got strings.















And a collection of the table toppers and pot holders were pulled together for the craft table too. I think I sent 10 toppers and the rest will go to the Madonna House Christmas gift shop.

By all accounts the Bazaar was another success. Over 200 people enjoyed a delicious ham and scalloped potato lunch on a surprisingly chilly afternoon, stocked up on home baked goodies, did a little Christmas shopping and enjoyed the company of friends. It's almost like finishing a quilt though - all of a sudden I feel like I don't know what to do with myself now that I'm off deadline. Fear not, that will change!...M

p.s. Next time I'll show you how I quilted the pinwheel toppers and a Christmas hexie topper that got added to the mix.
