Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours, Rodney. Are you "over it" yet? Seems like it if you can post such good wishes on this cold and rainy Thanksgiving morning.

And a Happy Thanksgiving right back at you and all the others on the QB! Eat, drink, be merry, and enjoy family and friends if you are with them. Tomorrow will be a whole other story!

Over what? I haven't been on here as much the last several days but that's just because I've had a bunch of other stuff going on. Some of it I was actually sewing, though not quilting. I got it in my melon head that I would make a skirt for Olivia without starting with a pattern. Olivia's 11 and it seems like all the patterns out there are either for teenagers and adults or for little kids. Nothing for the tweens. This was the inspiration: http://www.burdastyle.com/projects/a...nkle-by-wenlan
It will have the pleats up front and a wide waistband but that's where the similarity ends. Olivia wants a full length skirt.
I've got a muslin made that seems to fit well enough so I will be starting the actual skirt this weekend. It's been a lot of fun figuring out all the little details that need accounting for before it can actually go together.

Lucky Olivia! Sounds like a fun project. It is good to see you posting. I'll admit I was a little worried.

Anyway, Happy Thanksgiving to everybody!

A very happy Thanksgiving to everyone. I'm thankful today for my children, who are all happy, healthy and close enough for me to bother them!

Happy Thanksgiving from South Dakota!

I cooked up a very large meal for me and DH - and now I'm done cooking for the weekend. We'll have leftovers until we are sick of turkey - then the outside cats will get what is left of the bird.

I'm giving my White 670 a workout today - sewing about 100 yards of ribbon on the vestments I volunteered to make for the chapel at the school where I work. Four colors, four sizes . . . in my mind that as 16 and very doable. What I missed was the "three of each size" part :) They are quite fun - ribbon shirts using batik fabric. AND I get to keep all the scraps - cream, green, purple and red. A great addition to stash!

Happy Thanksgiving from Huntsville, Alabama (Rocket City, USA)
Skip, to full of turkey to write much today....

Happy thanksgiving everyone! We are waiting for a flight to visit the grands in puyallup. Happily alaska airlines has a direct flight from new Orleans. A little drive from home but the direct flight is worth it. We will have our thanksgiving meal tomorrow.

Happy Thanksgiving to all US friends from southern Ontario :)

We have a big tradition here at our house every year at this time where all of our male family members plus a few of their friends all come to stay for a few days. They all get up early Thanksgiving Day to go to the Detroit Lions game - I'm the "on call" designated driver & Yes they won today!!!! Go Lions!!

Happy thanksgiving from a very cold and deep snowy Winnebago Minnesota. Got close to a foot of snow yesterday, very cold temps. today, but the turkey & ham dinner warmed us up!

GailG 11-27-2014 11:38 PM

Well, it's no longer Thanksgiving Day and is now Black Friday. After the big Cajun turkey meal, these two parents/grandparents/great-grands came back home at 3 PM to the quiet (and the football games for DH). I had a long winter's nap of almost 3 hours. So here I sit at 1:35 in the AM. I've done my laundry, etc:thumbup:. I hope all had a great day with family and/or friends. Our complete immediate family was together except for one son (who had visited earlier in the morning).

Happy Thanksgiving! We had just a small dinner with myself, DH & my father-in-law, which is our normal tradition. Brother-in-law and his new wife will be in town Monday, we'll do a second "Thanksgiving" dinner at a restaurant with them. (We'll travel and visit with my side of the family and DH's Mom & Gran on Christmas Eve.)

Today I'm working as usual, weird to see so much traffic on the road at 5:30 and so many shops with all their lights on! Usually I pretty much have the whole town to myself at that hour, LOL.

Dodee 11-28-2014 08:44 AM

I'll repeat the same phrase: HAPPY THANKSGIVING TO ALL OUR VIEWERS. i WISH this to all families and hope everyone got together and also thanked God for our blessings.

Hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving! I'm thankful for all my new QB friends.

Had a nice day yesterday at my daughter's house in Connecticut - two out of three kids' families - one daughter's family lives in Colorado, so we just had the East coast bunch. Here's the gang (that's me in back)![ATTACH=CONFIG]500389[/ATTACH]

Beautiful family! It's fun to see who we are. We are having our family dinner today.
