Four Day Weekend

I've had no fabric in or out this week.  Since I bought a boatload of it last week, I didn't even hit the 3 quilt stores in my area that were having sales this weekend.  I took a quilt to the longarmer, but it may not be done before the new year.  I may have  already posted my last fabric usage for the year.

This has been a fun Thanksgiving break.  The big kids were home for a while.  We had 2 Thanksgiving celebrations (one here one on Friday at a friend's house).  We went to see 'Lincoln', which was very good.  We went out to lunch with friends from college that we hadn't seen in over 10 years.  I gave a knitting lesson to a friend who is making a hat. I sewed a little, and we still have today to play.

 

I'm working on Bonnie Hunter's Easy Street.  This week's clue is to make 4 patches.  I've got about 100 of them done already.  My goal is to buy no new fabric for this quilt.  I'm trying to use up a bunch of scraps.  Some of my scraps just won't die.  I'm getting tired of seeing the same old fabrics in all my scrap quilts.

 

 

Forty-two people came for Thanksgiving this year.  We set up tables in every room downstairs.  We had only 36 seats at tables, but the kids decided to eat on the back porch, so all the adults had a seat.     Here are my parents' grandchildren, in order from oldest (almost 23) to youngest (6).
