Nearly every Tuesday for the last 27 years, Nancy and her stitchin' friends have gotten together to enjoy an evening of sewing, quilting, cross-stitching, recipe swapping, and generally solving most of the world's problems. These ladies are originally from Arkansas, Tennessee, New York, Ohio, Minnesota, Alabama, and Pennsylvania. Over the years they've celebrated each other's birthdays with cakes and lots of gifts, and they've watched their children grow, marry, and have children of their own; enjoying every moment.

Last Tuesday, as they have done every year during the Christmas season, the Tuesday Stitchers met for a dinner and gift exchange. Nancy set the timer on the camera and took this picture. Seated left to right are JoAnn and Joan. Standing left to right are Nancy, Myra, Jerry, Barbara, Terri, and Kay.
