After Thanksgiving:)

I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving!!! Hubby and  had our traditional pizza:) Of course today the kids and MIL came over for our big meal:) Was a fun day!!!

Also got our new AC/Heater installed this week and I have to say it is just amazing!!!! Our old one was 30+ years old so there is a considerable difference! Will see if if it affects the bill??? We have been running the heat at night and the AC was finally on today:)

I got some quilting done even though it was a short week:)

First up is Nancy's log cabin for her sister:)

She wanted it all girly:) haha!!! So feathers!!!

And swirls:) I love the way it turned out!!!

Here is the back... see those lovely feathers???:)

Another one from Nancy... tumblers!

Just a simple loop meander all over.

The backing matches:)

Judy Mc made this sweet Project Linus quilt.

All quilted with loops and stars.

Fun backing!

I got 3 man chemo kits and made 3 quilts. This is the first one all done:)

Just loop meander.

And double sided:) Fun!!!

Linda W made this red strip quilt for her friends son.

Lots of different red fabrics! Just loop meandered it.

Backing has cars on it:) Too cute!

I made this machine embroidered Nativity with designs from Embroidery Library. The quilting was done on the domestic:)

Rosette #2 all done!!!!! Had to redo a few spots:(

I machine embroidered this FSL ( free standing lace) Angel design from Embroidery Library. I think I bought it last year?

Almost Thanksgiving:)

Well the temperatures have dropped again for a few days:) At least it does make it feel more like Fall.
Was a busy week so just a little quilting done. I only have 2 more Christmas ones to get done and then back to regular schedule...

Here is what I did get done:

Nancy had one more Wolf quilt to get done:)

This one is for her husband and she wanted to custom.

Hard to tell on the front

But you can definitely see the work on the back!


Pat made Linda a quilt out of flannel.

So soft and cuddly:)

Loops and hearts all over:)

We voted on our Guild's challenge entries and I won 3rd:) yea!!!

It had to have the purple fabric and fabric manipulation on/in it.

Was a good challenge as it made me go WAY out of my comfort zone!!



Found this sweet emb design and had to make a towel for Kathy J:)

Gifts for a few friends:) And one for me!!!!

My Chicken Butt towel:)


It is Hubby's birthday today... he is yet again 23:) So we went on a day trip and I got to visit 2 quilt shops:)

Bought these from Sew Crazy in Cedar Park.

And these are from Valli and Kim in Dripping Springs... I am gathering for the next 2 Millie Rosettes:)

Then we went to Cabela's in Bud and he bought himself another gun... I know he can never have enough??? I feel the same about fabric and sewing machines:) He got his catfish dinner at Catfish Parlour in Georgetown.... a full day for sure!!!

Tuesday they will install a new AC/heater unit... ours is over 30 years old and the heater would not light today so we decided to do this at the right time!!!

Hope ya'll have a Happy Thanksgiving!!!!
Hubby and I are having pizza and then next Sunday the gdaughters will be over and the feast will be served:)

I loved the backing fabric they put in the kit.
More loops:)

This is the Millefore layout. I am writing the colors I am picking so I don't get them close together.

The pink #2 rosette is all made just needs to be sewn together.
My design wall.
Me before one of the walks... it was SO cold and windy on Wed that I knew I would need to get a hat... I do not like hats!.... found this cute headband style that looked like a kitty so you know I had to have it!!! When I walked on Friday ti was almost to warm to wear it but I did:)

Will be a busy week this week so hoping to get a little quilting done!
