Happy Thanksgiving!
I have made our lunch, made up of a stuffing, turkey, cranberry jelly and gravy. It actually turned out great! I can see this at Christmas, as well. We celebrated the day alone...the kids just had too many things on their plates. So, we'll all get together at Christmas time.
The casserole...so good!
Then finished up with pumpkin pie!
I'm sorry but I think this is an ugly block!
This is the "quilt of the month" for my quilt club, in town. I've made a block from what I could understand of the instructions...it doesn't look like theirs! lol...oh well!
I think my corners needed to be flipped...?
These are AI fabrics photo... that granddaughter Samantha wants for a baby quilt that will be a gift. She wants the gingham on top with the other one on bottom...
Oh well...what I lack in experience...I excel in confidence...Lolol
Below are blocks that I've been playing around with...learning to do them. Points are not easy!
Well, I guess that's it for me today. Hope you all are having a wonderful day!
So, until next time...

Happy Thanksgiving to you! It sounds like you still managed to have a lovely, cozy day celebrating alone with a delicious meal, your turkey, stuffing, and that casserole look flawless.That's a great trial run for a Christmas lunch menu. www.melodyjacob.com
ReplyDeleteThank you Melody!!
DeleteI have found a couple templates that help with cutting/trimming HST's (half square triangles). Look for them online...amazon has them, of course. They are a game changer in your trimming accuracy and will help with points. Also, try using a "scant 1/4" seam allowance" rather than the usual 1/4". It makes a HUGE difference. If you need help with that, let me know.
ReplyDeleteThe ruffles won't be hard, just a pain. As an alternative, would she consider prairie points? Go with a quality gingham made for quilting. It's worth the price to buy higher quality quilting fabric...it is not as thin. Hope these ideas help.
Awww! Thanks Lin!! Checking all these hints out!! She was adamant about the gingham...
Deleteyou have a gift with matching colors and fabric, they are all gorgeous. love the poinsettia one.. the casserole looks really good
ReplyDeleteLooks like good eats and fun fabric! Winner winner!
