So Much to be Thankful For.

                   

                I am not even sure where to begin my heart is so full.......

               
              
               The last week was hectic to say the least. My husband and I spent Tuesday  baking pies with a good friend  and the following day I was able to spend the evening with a dear friend making cake pops and Oreo turkeys. While our six children ran around the yard in the dark with flashlights laughing and screaming. All this in preparation for one day. A day we get to spend with our families being Thankful for the Lord's blessings in our lives.  I feel so blessed to have been able to spend the whole week being reminded of all the people God has put in my families life who love us.

             So much work has to go into one meal but in the end it is all worth it, to be able to have this patchwork of people who have all walked their own roads and many of them not easy ones to walk, to come together under one roof. This group of people who's one tie that binds them all is,  family  and  for one day all feels right with the world. Among the chaos,  with people running every which way,  I stopped to notice all the laughing and smiling faces. To see cousins biking and skateboarding together like this is just the way it always is.

                 I saw Aunts and cousins that I haven't seen in years but the love I feel for those people is so ever present.  It amazes me how accepting children are when they are told this is your family, no questions are asked they just accept them. I am not sure when I will see them again, my hope is that we will all be together again at Christmas, maybe it won't be until next Thanksgiving. I don't know but I do know that it won't be a day I soon forget. I am sure it is a day that most of my family will remember.  A  day we were Thankful for having family, having a place to be ourselves with people who love us and of course so much delicious food!

            I pray that you too will take a moment to really be Thankful for the family God has blessed you with.

Quilt Update

Hey there fellow Crafters......

                 I just wanted to post an update on my quilt project. Oh I am so excited I was able to finish piecing the top and fuse all the mittens and lettering. I have started to stitch  the applique. So here are a few pictures. It was so nice to hang in jammies all weekend and quilt. That is something I haven't done in a while. There will be more where that came from for sure!

Quilt Project

 

             I am sure I mentioned this in my last blog but I will say it again I love FALL. This time of year makes me want to start quilting again. I guess it is the cold air or the shorter days. I am not sure, all I do know is that I am so ready to quilt. So the other night I went on a search for a new project. I pulled out an American Patchwork & Quilting magazine from last year, you know one of those magazines you save and mark up with all the future projects, I think we all have them. Well it was a toss up between pumpkins, leaves or these cute little mittens. I went with the mittens. A little early, I know, but I am hoping to have this little wall hanging finished by Christmas time.
           The quilt is called "Bundle Up". I wanted to share with you my color options and see what you think. Do you quilt and are currently working on something?


                                                                                         

                                                                                    

 

I can't wait to hear about your current project and I will make sure to keep you up to date on my progress.

 

 

Until next time Hugs.........
