Thanksgiving Eve
This generally is the day when the kitchens would be humping, getting ready for Thanksgiving.
I have been successful with the prep that was needed on Stauffer Avenue. The pies have been taken out of the freezer and have been put in the refrigerator. Mission completion.
There had been Thankgivings that Dennis and I were alone. We decided to drive to Mankato until we found something that was open and served food. It worked out just fine.
Dennis ran the MKX through the car wash today. Jeremy and Nicholas can put the car cover on it tomorrow with as little dust as possible in these next 24 hours so as not to rub on the car from the cover. Dennis had a plan and the car is now in the garage with the furnace cranked up a bit and fans running so the car will be totally dry by tomorrow.
Today the living room north wall has the Santa quilt on it. I had a lot of enjoyment working with the paper-backed fabric sheets that could be run through the HP printer with a large variety of images to choose from. It makes me smile every time I look at it. It was the first time I had used mono-filament sewing thread when I free-motion quilted over the Santa blocks. The bobbin had green thread in it for the total project. The front was quilted with changing off the red and green threads when quilting the log cabin blocks.
Well, well. Sometimes when an item is purchased online, you can get burnt. First time for everything. I had ordered a stitching kit via Etsy on October 1st. I have been diligent on the tracking number. The tracking stalled and as of yesterday that shop on Etsy has closed down. Live and learn. Hence forth, I will work with needlework shops in the good ole USA.
With that I take my leave. ♥
