I hope everyone had as wonderful a Thanksgiving as I did.  Family and great food.  Can’t get much better.   After clean-up my sister and I headed to Wally World.  I wanted to get new movies for my sewing room.  I like to play animated movies while I sew.  I like the background music.  So I got about 8 new movies for $1.97 each and , ta da this for $9.95

So excited.  I use permanent markers to make my quilt labels.  Now they can be in technicolor!

I wouldn’t have minded to have gone black Friday shopping only quilt shop hopping, but my sister gets cross-eyed when I start talking quilting.  She has no interest in sewing.  Instead we had a great time at Menards, Kohl’s and Bed Bath & Beyond.  Two days shopping, no sewing, I’m having withdrawals.   Today hopefully will be spent in my sewing room.  I still have not finished my November list.  I’m getting there, just not finished.  I need to focus on The List.

UFO for November – almost completed.  Need to head to quilt shop for border fabric.  Then the top will be finished.  Will quilt it later.

The Grand Slam – Apparently there are 4 different types of Turkeys in the United States.  Hunters try to bag one of each.  This is called a grand slam.  It is considered a great accomplishment.  Well my brother has achieved this accolade.  Guess what?  He wants a quilt to commemorate his experience.  I went on line and found these descriptions defining the differences of each type of turkey.  I will use these while trying to design the quilt top.  Let me say this.  I am not an artist.  I will try though.

 

Currently under my needle….  I am finishing prepping Block # 4 of a Bed of Roses.  Hoping to get this finished today.  Then I will start prepping the final border for A Boy and A girl.  Then November list will be completed.  Yeah!

The Doxie quilt is finished and gifted.  She loved it.

I also completed my Long Time Gone monthly installment.  Those cross blocks were a challenge for me.  I’m not sure but I think it has to do with me getting dizzy when I look at kaleidoscope type things.  Placing the square and strips to achieve the cross pattern were similar to that for me.  But I got it done!  Yeah for me.

Here’s hoping everyone has everything they need and are blessed with love and kindness.

Happy Thanksgiving Everyone!
