Thanks, Heather, as always for getting us together. My big holiday treat starts tomorrow with the first clue of the Bonnie Hunter mystery project -- there will be sewing involved!
For the hubby, today is about the Detroit Lions football game -- I will have plenty of time for quilting. When we were in Seattle with the time zones it was always a difficult timing, the family meal was midday and we would either have to miss the game, arrive late, or get up at the crack of dawn for the 90 minute or so drive to my mom's house to watch it there. Always a hassle and scheduling nightmare!
Today is just me and hubby at our new house. We hadn't planned on going to Michigan to visit with his family -- just as well because things are in a bit of a turmoil. This past Sunday night his mom fell, cracked/broke a couple of ribs, spent a couple days in the hospital and will now be in a recuperative care for 2 weeks! We've already bought, cooked and eaten two turkeys on sale this year (buy $25 worth of groceries and turkeys were $0.69/pound). Today for us will be pizza! Hubby is ketovore -- mostly meat eater. He has been wanting to try a keto pizza where the crust is a sheet of sausage (which he prebaked yesterday), a thin coating of pizza sauce, then additional toppings and cheese. I still eat carbs and picked up a pizza with a crust at Papa Murphy's yesterday and will cook it today.
For quilting, I will be working on my Christmas String Project. I have the "bed" put together and need to work on the borders. There is a 4" white on white (matches the inside of the 4-pointed stores) and then there will be a 6" string border. In cutting out pieces for the strings, I cut a bunch that were all about 1/2" too short to use in the spiderweb section. I decided to simply piece them into the otherwise 6" strings, so that is my first project for the day.
