It is winter again

I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving. We finished off the leftovers tonight but still have some turkey.
We had new windows put in on Monday and they are so nice and different than the old ones. The old ones were 26 years old so things have really improved.

This is the mini quilt I received from Ely on HGTV the other day. It is so pretty in all 1930's fabrics.
I mailed out my ornaments on Wednesday and they should be receiving them by tomorrow.  Pa. and DC aren't that far away.
We haven't started shopping yet but since we only buy for DD it won't take too long. I don't enjoy shopping at all. I got burned out a long time ago. Thanks for reading

A cold and dreary Saturday.....

For the past two days it has been cloudy and sometimes foggy. 
I have bought the turkey and most of the vittles for the big day Thursday. I am making an apple-cranberry pie. I also will have 5 cup salad, dressing, mashed potatoes and gravy, green beans and rolls.  I really do not mind fixing this meal but this time I am using a bag to bake the turkey. It cooks much faster in one and very evenly. I will let you know how it goes.
I finished making 12 hexagon blocks but can't figure out how to put the quilt together. Part of the problem is that I removed the paper and they are floppy. 
DD was here today for lunch the time really flies because she only stays around 2 hours. She is coming Thursday too.
I am working on an embroidery thing I bought years ago and didn't finish. It is printed and also has colored in areas; the theme is cats and I will make a pillow for DD.
My ornaments for the swaps are finished but I haven't photographed them yet.  They turned out well and I have to mail them this coming week.
Have a great weekend and Thanksgiving.

It's a cold but sunny morning...

I can't believe this is the second week of November. My DD's birthday was yesterday she is 44 now. She was due in January way back then but showed up pretty early.
I have been working on a bazillion hexagons but it is a lot of fun. I am doing the blocks in florals then last round is black. It is a small quilt though.

I received my pin cushion from Jean on Block Central he is the cutest thing and quite large. She put in a lot of work on this and I really appreciate it.
I am also making ornaments for other swaps and then have the big one for December at QIAD which is a Secret Santa. It's fun to do these.
We had snow flurries last Friday morning but nothing significant. My DH did put the snow blower in the garage though just in case. LOL
Keep on quilting
