You fill it with all your stitching friends! Ann of Knowledge and Needles was away last Thursday and so I invited everyone to my house for stitching. There was room for all of us. We had a wonderful afternoon full of lots of laughter and a little bit of stitching.
My dear friend Clare sent me this lovely house stitch for my new home. Thank you so much Clare. I love it and it will have a place of pride in my kitchen.
Barb (no blog) made me this wonderful nutcracker ornament. Isn't he just the cutest!
Beatrice and I showed off our finished Stain Glass Quilts. This was Beatrice's first quilted piece and she did a great job!
We are visiting with our youngest son, his wife and our grandsons for Thanksgiving. The turkey is in the oven and the pumpkin pies are in the fridge. I can hardly wait for supper.
We went to watch Jackson play hockey this afternoon. He started playing a couple of weeks ago. It was great fun. Here's a couple of pictures of our future hockey star!
I have been stitching and it is still a struggle. I did get the two ornaments I needed to stitch done but cannot show them as they are for others.
To all my Canadian friends "Happy Thanksgiving!!!" and to the rest of my friends "I hope you have a happy day". Today, I am thankful for all my stitching, blogging friends. You make my day!
Thank you for the division(sharing) of these beautiful images!

Hi Kathy,
ReplyDeleteWell, it didn't take long for the
stitchers to arrive and baptize
your new house and give it their
stamp of approval. Everyone looks
quite industrious and right at home
in the pictures.
What a lovely gift from your friend
Clare that little stitched house
sampler is. It'll look great in
your kitchen.
And that Nutcracker that Barb made
for you is really cool. Love his
hat and his really spiffy uniform.
Wonderful treasures to receive and
enjoy in your new home.
I've never seen a stained glass
quilt before. Both yours and
Beatrice's turned out fabulous.
It's funny how you both chose
fabrics with animals on them for
this project.
Your Grandson looks quite
professional in his hockey
uniform, and out on the ice.
Can't get much more Canadian
then that, eh??
Cheers!
Bon dimanche Marylin
ReplyDeleteKathy really enjoyed looking through your blog and sorry that I missed you while you were in the area. I was gone for a couple of days and then had company myself. Belated Thanksgiving wishes. Hope to see you all again in November.

Wish I didn't have to work for a living!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great picture of Beatrice, you and the beuatiful glass stained quilts! Wow!
ReplyDeleteDo you have any information on the nutcracker ornament Barb made for you? I'd love to purchase the pattern. Thanks.
