I'd love to win the guide to try it out. I guess my favorite side dish is Southern Comfort Glazed Carrots.

Fresh cranberries and apples sauted. YUM!
Congratulations to you both!
I hope that you find the seam guides helpful in your
piecing of patchwork.

In other news..............
Nooooooooooooooooo............
I am NOT moving out!
LOLOLOLOLOL
I love the Quilt Cave too much for that!
So, why is there a moving van in front of my home???
FURNITURE!!!!!
I finally am getting some furniture!
I found these 2 wooden tables, chairs, and hutch
on a buy/sell/trade near my location.
These were remnants from an estate sale.
I can't believe no one wanted them?
Well, I DO!
The lady selling the items was so nice, and shared with me
about her mother's furniture. Her teenage son helped
post the items for her and was quite the entrepreneur.
She asked if I would send a photo of the furniture in
place at my home and on Thanksgiving.
I am more than happy to, and I know it will
help her knowing that her mother's furniture is in a good
place, and will be well cared for.
I will now be able to host
Thanksgiving Dinner for my family!
I am so excited to be able to entertain
and display some of my grandmother's glass!
Thanksgiving Day is coming!
Glasses are washed, as are the dishes!
Glasses are washed, as are the dishes!
Bring on the food!
Which means the following day will be the first clue to
Bonnie Hunter's.....
ONE WEEK FROM TODAY!
I just can't believe it!
I am gonna be pumped all week
thinking about this!
I came home the other day to find
a package on my doorstep.
sent me this lovely package of patriotic fabrics
and a nice little mini quilt pattern.
She shared with me that some of this was
from a dearly departed quilting friend's stash.
How special, and thanks Randy!
I will put these to good use!
I also received these fabrics from my friend
Carolyn this past week.
I have a feeling some of these may find their
way into the upcoming mystery quilt!
I hope you all are ready to
BRING ON THE BIRD!
I know I am!
Enjoy your time with family and friends!
My parents arrive on Sunday, and my
Sister and her family arrive mid week!
Safe travels to all!
Thanks for all of the Encouragement!

What a great dining room set. You are so lucky to have family close, to share the holidays with. Our closest family is 1200 miles away. It's not fun cooking for Thanksgiving for only 3 of us (and one is picky). Christmas will be the same way. At least I get to see family again early in January. When I have some dates, I'll see if you will be available.
ReplyDeleteWonderful! Now I can picture you and your loving family eating dinner on your beautiful new furniture. It surely beats the floor! Have a very Happy Thanksgiving!
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful dining set!! I am volunteering at our local church for the Community Dinner - think I am the official potato pealer.
ReplyDeleteThat's a fabulous dining set, I'm so jealous.
ReplyDeleteThat's to be thankful for!
Glad you're family is coming for Thanksgiving!!!

You have been the recipient of some great fabrics for QOV quilts you do so well.
I think the dining room suite was just waiting for you, couldn't find a more perfect fit :) Your Thanks Giving will be just spot on, and I did enjoy reading everyone's side dishes, some sounded really yummy. What great fabrics as well, funny isn't it when we give, we tend to receive exactly what we need and a bit more back ;)
ReplyDeleteWow, Kevin, that dining room set is gorgeous. Great find! Perfect for hosting your first Thanksgiving gathering.

ReplyDeleteI just love that you got furniture from a woman who wanted to be sure it all went to another family! Honestly, I think there's nothing like having family together on Thanksgiving. I think it's my favorite holiday. So great that you are able to have your family in your new wonderful home! What a great way to spend the holiday. And I didn't realize the glasses you were washing were your grandmother's. That's just so beautiful!! Enjoy all the fabrics!! I know you'll put them to good use!
