Midweek Update and Happy Thanksgiving!

 


I'm just working on little things this week.  Not much time for anything too involved.  I started cutting into the Christmas fat quarter I put together a couple weeks ago to make a gift for a friend.  The first step was to make some square in a square blocks with very specific corners.


My November Table Scraps project is ready to share at the end of the week.  I stitched down the binding on it last night.


And Harvest Blessings has gotten some attention, too.  I enjoyed stitching those stems of wheat the other night, with lots of Lazy Daisy stitches!


LeeAnna's question of the week is "hot chocolate or hot toddy?"  And my answer is - how about champagne?!  Lol!  After enjoying the champagne experience at Korbel Winery on our September trip, we decided we would look for a bottle for Thanksgiving, and we found it.  



Cheers!  And Happy Thanksgiving and Harvest Blessings to you!

Happy Thanksgiving to you and Mike! Enjoy your champagne. We got in some extra (big) bottles of white zin. My family either likes beer or "candy" wine - lol!

Happy Thanksgiving, Diann! Champagne is a fine idea for the holiday. We'll be breaking out the bourbon.

Thanksgiving blessings to you and your family as well. We decided to try a bottle of Ruffino Prosecco Rose this year. I'll let you know how it is! You do French while we do Italian. It's all bubbly! Cheers!

Happy Thanksgiving! I like the colors of those blocks. I'll be curious what they look like altogether.

Diann, I wish you a Happy Thanksgiving with your whole family gathered (at least I hope your out-of-state son was able to get home). Enjoy the bubbly.

Happy Happy Thanksgiving , Diann. I wish you and your family a joyous day! Your Thanksgiving display is so darling. It just warms my heart that you have stitched so many of my pieces. And I can not wait to see your Tablescrap quilt-- Oh the backing looks delightful- little hoofprints-cute! Hugs.

I would love a glass of champagne! We used to LOVE a champagne from Lake Placid area, but I like champagne best too.
your quilt looks interesting, and love the wheat sheaves of stitch.
Cheers to you, LeeAnna
