Jan--I think that is great. Is it pp'd?
Ggal--you are very ambitious to do that applique BOM, but it is very pretty.
Re: DJ--since I won't be making all the blocks/don't need a big quilt, I am choosing just pp'd blocks to make. Maybe one day I will do applique, but no interest right now.
Sounds like Thanksgiving plans are in the works. We will get together at my mom's that weekend...2 of my 3 sister's and their families will be there. My other sister is pregnant and in NC, so it's too long of drive in the 3rd trimester. We haven't talked about the menu yet, but I will probably take a carrot casserole and maybe potatoes (either party or mashed). We provide the turkey too (DH gets one from work every year)....but I don't cook that, it gets put in the roaster before we get there. Mom usually buys what we tell her to and we do the cooking...she doesn't like to. We always come up with stuff Mom needs in her kitchen. I bought her some good knives a few years back. Can't remember what it was last year we needed...I'll have to check with my sisters.
