Veterans Day 2014

Thanksving Planning

Sad to say, Thanksgiving is sometimes referred to as the over looked holiday or the holiday between Halloween and Christmas.  At our house, Thanksgiving is an important holiday because we have many things which we are thankful for. 

Thanksgiving Menu

AppleJack, grocery shopper extraordinaire, is making his shopping list.

Grandmother Bessie's Autumn Leaf Jewel Tea dishes are coming out of the cupboard and being prepped for the table setting.

 

For some fresh air and exercise and in anticipation of spring, bulbs will be planted.  Leaves to rake.

There is fabric to be cut and sewn for quilts:  fall colors for a tumbler quilt and blues and browns for a Lady of the Lake. 

No Black Friday shopping for us (we avoid the malls like the plague) and walk in the woods is always peaceful.

Time permitting the beginning of Christmas decorations. 



Red, White and Blue

Look who's back from the long armed quilter and just in time for the mid term elections and to celebrate Veterans Day.

Susan, the long armed quilter did a beautiful job.  Isn't this feather fabulous?

Check out the quilting of these stars--each one perfectly framed with the quilting.

Miss Callie Mae is  giving the quilt a test drive to make sure it meets her strict standards.

Tumbler flag quilt.  Susan's quilting is just beautiful, her flawless quilting makes the stripes of the quilt look like they are waving in a breeze.  Knowing I would be using this quilt as a wall hanging, Susan added extra batting to stabilize the quilt  This was such a fun quilt to make, I might just make another.
