| the truck from my childhood was much newer than this so don't gasp! this would make me 101 years old!!!! |
I hope everyone has had a nice week with family and friends. Thanksgiving is one of my favorite holidays. The time of year, the colors, the food all bring together people we haven't seen for a while and an opportunity to see how quickly the little ones grow up. Wow.
Thanksgiving week for me is one of relative ease. My Dear Son and DIL do the cooking and hosting at their home. Since it is about an hour or so away, I must make sure my pies and bake goods travel well. I used to have an old-fashioned handled bakers tray, like the ones the man who did the deliveries when I was a child. Yes, there was a milk truck who delivered milk products and a bakery truck for bread, cakes and cookies. I think Husband gave it a toss some time ago, the bottom was falling out. Not so good for the pies I think!
This post was not intended to veer off into pies and milk, but that is what is on my mind right now.
Anyway, one of the reasons that I post the group activity and progress is so that members who are away or traveling can always catch up and stay current.

This long weekend will hopefully give me a little more studio time. I want to finish the
flimsy. (love that term, a favorite of Kaaren from
The Painted Quilt) I need to practice a lot more with the Handiquilter 16 but this will like be the first one quilted on that machine. Of course, why do I plan all these projects right before Christmas? Why not? (((smile)))
