HAPPY THANKSGIVING!

Happy Thanksgiving, Everyone!

The turkey is in the oven and everything else will be ready soon too.  Now waiting for the family to come.  I don't know for sure who will be here but I know we will all have a good time.  There is so much to be thankful for in this household and the list keeps getting longer.  I wish for all of you a safe and blessed Thanksgiving!  Safe travels to you who are hitting the roads, planes, trains and automobiles!

Discarded Baby Quilt


Last Saturday I found this quilt at the same place I had found the magazines.  It has been washed several times but there are no stains on it and it has no holes or rips anywhere.  I liked it because it is still bright and well made.  It is machine quilted in the ditches and a wavy quilt line on the green outer edge.  This little quilt measures 36" x 46".

Quilter's Newsletter Magazine --- A Score

Today I went with my 2 daughters and their families to a Church Rummage Give Away!  You name it and it was there and the price was so right on everything.  I came home with a bag of Quilter's Newsletter Magazines from 1986 to 1991.  There has to be 30 of these magazines which I shared with the girls.  I found a couple patterns I have been searching for over the last few years, opened up the first magazine and there it was!

There were craft magazines and  books galore.  I was feeling a bit guilty for taking the pile but several of the ladies at the church commented that they have had these magazines in their last few rummage sales and Give Away's and no one ever takes them so they were slated for the trash bin.   I believe there are 30 of these magazines.  The girls were as excited as I was to see them.  Maybe my projects will become more interesting in the future!
