And our special this week is

Hope you and yours have the best day ever,

filled with family and food

(and of course, quilting.)

Happy Extra Girl Gang Wednesday on Veteran's Day

And a big Thank You to all our veterans.

My father was career Army (Major Glover Wilson Laird)

and Pep's father was career Navy (Lt. Commander Byron H. Patek) 

and he got the Bronze Star for sweeping mines in the South

China Sea during a monsoon.

So Veterans Day is pretty important to us.

This year to celebrate I'm putting the pattern for

"America for Me" on sale today and all week.

Enjoy!

And be sure to thank a veteran if you see one.

Happy Girl Gang Wednesday

On late Friday this week.

And we'll start with the special today.

                                                   It's almost Turkey Day but there's still time to 

make this little wallhanging from our kit.

And of course, there's always next year because 

we have Thanksgiving every year.

And especially this year we need to be very thankful

that we live where we do.

Prayers for the people of Israel and Palestine that

Hamas is eliminated and they are able to live in

peace and security in the future.

I'm late this week for 2 reasons.

Reason #1 is the war over there and our Open Border.

In my humble opinion, an open border is a stupid idea.

I don't leave my front or back door open so that anyone that

wants to come in can do so without us knowing who they are.

Pep was in Hospital Security for 30 years and is a very good

shot but still - it a bad idea.  And with all of that going on 

it stresses me out and slows everything down.

The 2nd reason is much nicer.  Our friend Alex and his

wife just had a baby boy so I had to make him a quilt.

Here's the drawing and now I get to make it.

I designed it using Deb Strain's "Willow Farm"

fabric line along with some scraps from her older lines.

I'll tell you it's name next week after I hear from Alex

and let you know later when you can order a kit.

Besides being a baby quilt I think its a pretty good

wallhanging/throw.

Dresden Turkeys by clicking here.

 Have the best week with the people and quilts that you love

and I'll see you next week with another Fall quilt and probably

more chicken pictures - They're my babies.

 

Happy Girl Gang Wednesday

And its Halloween!

When our daughter Kelly moved back in

she brought a friend with her.  Most of

the time she lives downstairs but at this

time of year she wants to be up with the

rest of us.  So today she's staying in the

room next door.  She's pretty quiet 

and doesn't eat much.  And we found out 

that she has a sister living at Brian's house.

And speaking of Brian I finally gave his 

daughter Summer her quilt.  Here she is with

Summer's Bunnies. And we just happen to

have the kit on special today.

Hope you had a happy Halloween and didn't eat too much candy.

Now we all need to pray for Israel and the Palestinians.

 Have the best week with the people and quilts that you love

and I'll see you next week with another Fall quilt and probably

more chicken pictures - I just love watching them.
