I have had a couple of fun sessions working in the sewing room. One Of my catch-up projects, putting sashing between crazy flower squares - made in a Buggy Barn class. And then I had a bit of a wild hair to make a 1600 quilt, using the lots and lots of Christmas fabrics left-overs. Enjoying myself. Here are a few snaps of all of this. Included are a lovely flower arrangement that,oldest granddaughter made for us.

Thanksgiving 2014
This has been a lovely holiday. We have had lots of rain, but also a few peeks of sunshine. We did the traditional: everyone comes to the Grandma's. We made the turkey, stuffing, cranberry and mashed potatoes. Others. brought green bean casserole, rolls,squash, assorted beverages and four (!) kinds of pie: lemon, pear, boysenberry and pumpkin. Oh my! A marvelous feast and really very good company. The big cousins were wonderful playmates. for the little girls. Everyone had a good time.

Block Quilters Quilt Show
Such a fun day on Saturday. Quilt friend Ronda and I headed east of Seattle to the Quilt Show put on by the other big Quilt Group in the area - Block Quilters. I haven't been to this show for several years, when Ronda and I went with Caro (Caroline Dijkerman). Caro was busy at home so we had to go without her. It is a very nice show in a comfortable locale.
There were 8 or 10 vendors, as well as a members' extras for sale. Ronda found some fabric, I found a pair of knitting needles. So here are a few of ones that I thought were very good.
The quilts are much better than my photography skills. Some interesting details included a 1/4" border
Another quilt had 7 (!) borders
Some really lovely work
Now I guess I better get busy. Happy quilting.
