A wonderful time of the year. Our family has much to be thankful for... good health and loving family and friends. The four-legged furball as well.
We are having a the traditional turkey dinner today, and invited some of our friends to share it with us. The smells coming from the kitchen are very enticing.
We are starting off with Curried Pumpkin-Apple Soup. Then the Mashed Potato Casserole and Carrots Caprice, and Mashed Turnip, I always add some applesauce to the turnip so it isn't bitter. Barbara is making a Broccoli Casserole and Eileen is bringing dessert. I made Cranberry Chutney,full of cranberries, apples, raisins and all those wonderful spices. Yummy!! It looks and smells gorgeous. I am sure it will taste as good as it looks too!.
After enjoying all that great food we shall have to take a walk along the trail by the lake.
Last night I managed to get blocks 9 and 10 nearly finished. Then all I will have left to do are eleven and twelve. I think I will do the large top piece after Halloween.
My online quilting group are going to start a UFO challenge on the 18th. I am the COO (Chief Operating Officer) so have to get it organized. I have listed five UFO's and will be very happy to get working on them and most importantly completing them. The end of the Challenge will be June 30th.
My pattern arrived from Sew-Karenly, it is lovely. I am dying to do it but I will have to get a UFO completed first.
And my new Judy Martin books, so many great patterns, sigh.
