WIP Challenge Wrap Up and 2014 Christmas Luncheon

On December 13th, the duClay Chapter of EGA hosted our annual Christmas Luncheon at the historic Bensel House.  Nothing like a day spent with needle and thread and like minded friends!

Our luncheon was catered by Brenda (on the right) owner of Fancy J Catering.  As always, the food was in abundance and absolutely delicious!
