How nice, here in the sticks we haven't any groups, and the nearsest one is an hours drive away. Great memories :)
Are you part of the Wades yahoo group? It's a janome group also and we have been doing ornament exchanges for many years. The group isn't very active right now but our exchange did fine - I now have a couple hundred ornaments from them - I decorate my windows with them
All these are very nice. Sounds like great luncheon.
