Our Thanksgiving Celebration

What a day.

My sister from Colorado, Julie, was there...
a surprise for our Mom.

A lot of people in a small space.
But, we all had a great time. 

The 4 J's together...telling stories
on and about each other. 
All of us laughed so hard.

Here are some photos of our day...

Manley & Kisa (made by me).

What fun we had.

I was sorry that Paul & his family
were unable to make it.

I was sorry to see the day come to an end.

In the Nick of Time...

Got it done!

woohoo!

It's after midnight (Friday night) 
and this quilt is all washed & dried...

ready to go.

It's for my sister, Joyce, to give her grandson.

Tomorrow. 

The fabric is 'diggers & dozers' with Kona cotton solids.

I quilted it with YLI variegated thread
in the color 'primary'

in not-so-straight lines

which are unevenly spaced.

Intentionally.

 Measures 50x52 inches.

Must get to bed.

Looking forward to a great family day tomorrow!

Goodnight.

No Holiday For Me!

That's right.

I am working, working, working.

Trying to get this quilt done

before our family Thanksgiving 

celebration on Saturday.

Quilting with my walking foot with not-so-straight lines.

Let me tell you...

after quilting the last several quilts with my walking foot,

I'm looking forward to stippling the next several.

 

This quilt is going with me and it'd 

sure be better if it was done.

Ya know?

Yeah, so we're all meeting up at Jill's house.

Joyce (sis from Alaska) is in

between homes.

She sold her house in Anchorage

and is on her way to Maryland.

This is a 9-day stopover.

Lucky us.

My oldest son, Matthew, and his 2 kids,

Conlan and Jasmine will be there.

My youngest son, Paul, his wife, Rachel,

as well as Devin and Kaylynn will be there.

Me Mum and Ray.

My niece, Michelle.

My niece, Jenni, and her son, Trent.

My sister, Jill, and her boyfriend, Tim.

I'll be there, too!

I plan to take a bunch of photos.

Happy Thanksgiving Day to you all!
