Gone to the Dogs Thanksgiving

YaY!
I finished the center section of my basket quilt project.

 If you're wondering how this goes together; the answer is not easily.

 There are partial seams and by that I mean, I sew it wrong, rip out out and then do it right. 

 That is my process.   I also make notes.  I'm very visual and this works for me.

My Thanksgiving was wonderful even though I wasn't feeling well.  I've been battling a horrid cold/sinus infection.  Luckily we had low key plans.

coco made sure that my wonderful son, Andrew, basted the turkey just right.

 I watched the dog show which is my favorite thing to do on Thanksgiving - besides eat.

 My fabulous husband even went to the basement and got the Turkey dinnerware.  I went to attic and got 1 turkey of our collection.

 Sometimes less really is more.  I was Thankful for our day together and having my boys make a wonderful dinner for us.

coco enjoyed her special annual dinner, after all she did mind the turkey.

I finished a sewing project for my friend, Diane.  I sent her LAQ a package with all the makes of a beautiful quilt. 

That is a lot of binding!

My other major accomplishment is finishing this challenging puzzle.  

 And lastly, I finally found a pair of deer for my home here on Buck Hill Rd. 

I love that they blend in during the day

 I got them at Lowe's.  They were display models, so I got a bonus discount - oh yeah.

and really dazzle at night.  I keep peeking out of the kitchen/laundry window to admire them :)

I hope you all had a nice Thanksgiving and enjoy the preparations of the Holiday Season.

2017 BSQ Show - Part I

Hello there.  It's been a busy couple of weeks but I'm back to share quilts from the Brownstone Quilt Show 2017 Show.

The quilts are followed by their info cards.  I did a bad job taking these phone photos. I even missed a couple sorry about that.

on with the show....

This is a charming quilt that is perfectly made, but was hanging badly when I took this - I am sure it was fixed before showtime.

 Whoops, I didn't get the card - this is Norma's selvage quilt above.

I this this is Gentle Thoughts by Maureen (let me know if I'm wrong).

Isn't this a great action shot of hanging some of the smaller quilts?  The are hanging quilt on the opposite side at the moment, lol.

Today I shared quilts made by friends and members.   I posted mine on FB and Instagram and will also post them here next week (just for my record).

I haven't had time to get back to my baskets - but I have picked a few more bow tie blocks to go with them.

See you next week with more quilt show photos.
