In case you have ever wondered who decorates the ferry landing for Christmas each year, it is the women from Stitch & Gossip Orcas 98280.

They decorated the landing again this year as they have been doing for many years in the past wrapping the railings with garlands and handmade bows. Stitch also purchases a large wreath from Orcas Montessori School for the landing and a smaller one for the Orcas Post Office. You can see and read up more about Stitch and Gossip as well as our other two long-time island women’s groups at the Orcas Island Museum which is featuring the groups in the exhibit “HerStory.”
