I think after 4 weekends in a row I am retreated out! My waistline agrees with me! I did make headway on a couple projects though. I thought I would be able to catch up on store business but the fabric reps are making their after market rounds. So, I guess I get to order fabric instead! The weather has turned cold and rainy/snowy. It seems like the perfect sewing weather, oh and hunting too. Loren has filled both his deer and elk tag so it looks like we will get to go to Billings for Thanksgiving. I know this makes my daughter happy. I see she even made a new pinterest board: Thanksgiving Dinner. That's enthusiastic!! She is taking hostessing dinner very seriously. I think my part will only consist of making a couple pies. I can do that! It has been a long time since I have gotten to spend Thanksgiving with my parents. Family time is the best time!
Happy Quilting! Pam
