I've been working on this year's fireworks quilt (due next August), just got back from visiting my parents and helped with a party for my Dad's 100 birthday, add in a Thanksgiving Dinner on Sunday, with out of town family in attendance and more family visits with 3 generations this weekend, have made me be absent from the QB lately. We're going to cut a tree tomorrow. I also agree that Thanksgiving last week and all the preparations that go into hosting/helping with a dinner, take away from spending time on the QB. Add in shopping and or making gifts in the coming weeks and it'll probably be January before you see things pick up around here.
