Last Monday was sewing at my home with two of my friends. Mary worked on the most adorable pinwheel blocks. Maureen and I worked on aprons for our sewing machines. We had some free machine embroidery that we wanted to use on the pockets of the aprons. I actually get to report fabric used since the apron is totally complete!! LOL (Usually projects get left close to completion but not totally complete.)

Thanksgiving day started out with a light snow. Since we live in the country, it always looks so serene and peaceful. We had a wonderful Thanksgiving day with our family. Of course there was too much food and everyone was stuffed. As a way to keep from vegetating in front of the idiot box (TV), we went bowling. The guys beat the ladies royally (we did not have any handicap set for the ladies - that is my excuse and I am sticking with that!!)  Our daughter Natalie and family from Fargo, ND, left on Friday morning. Our son was out with friends and we spent a quiet day with our youngest daughter. Brenda left Saturday morning for Minneapolis. Amazing how quiet it gets when everyone has left --- but I get to go quilt!!! LOL

View off the back deck Thursday morning. Quiet and serene!!

Thanksgiving is past and now the race is on for Christmas. If others are like me, the week before Christmas is when I get most of my shopping done.

Friday morning the first step to Bonnie Hunter's Celtic Solstice mystery was published. Since then, I have slowly been cutting my peaky part of  "Peaky and Spike" (Doreen Speckman named the units more years ago then I care to remember). The 3 1/2" strips have been cut of the blue fabrics for the spikes. Hope to have them all cut this morning.

Peaky units.

I hope that everyone had a wonderful week!!

I am claiming that it is my friend Maureen's fault that I added more fabric. She is always willing to be so helpful!! LOL On Monday, we met at Gruber's Quilt Shop for Sew-Sew Monday. The plan was to sew up our aprons for our sewing machines. Well --- we didn't finish the aprons but Maureen did go in search of more fabric to make more sewing machine aprons for gifts. She spotted some fabric that she thought I would just have to have. Guess what??? Yes, I did find fabric that just needed to be purchased for covers and aprons for some of my machines. Honest -- I was not intending to get anything!! LOL The focus fabric is just too much fun with the thread, scissors, and other accessories. The button fabric and pin fabric just had to come home also. The green is a fun accent color.

The rest of the week was spent trying to solve internet issues. Turns out the wireless modem router bit the dust.  It is amazing how many steps it took to get me back up and running. I sure didn't realize how much I depend on the internet and I especially missed my email and reading blogs, and following Pinterest. My -- how times have changed.

Getting impatient for the newest mystery by Bonnie Hunter to start. Not many days left until we get the first set of instructions. Count down has started ------

Here's hoping that you all have a wonderful Thanksgiving.
