Usually I'm exhausted by the end of Thanksgiving, but this year I tried to stagger the work out a bit. If I can get Paul to deep fry the turkey, then the oven is all mine. The trick is to get the orange rolls to come out of the oven at the same time as everything else is ready. Usually I forget something.

Quilt for Jim
I found a great fabric designed by Marcia Derse on Whidbey Island. It is an easy panel quilt with a simple border, but Jim will love it. Easy Peasy!

Quilting with YaYas
Our little quilt group is one of the best things in my life. My supportive friends are just as addicted to quilting as I am. They each have a lovely personality, a quick wit, and a deep knowledge of design.
Opal brought this beauty in today to take share and take pictures. The big design walls are perfect for that.

The Lack of Power
I started Monday in such a good mood. I stitched up these little gifts because our YaYa quilting group meets on Tuesday. But as soon as I was done, the power went out.

Naomi's Blessing
We were happy to go to the Snohomish building to see Naomi blessed on Sunday. Pam and Howard brought up Bonnie from Edmonds and Grandma Megan came from Utah for the event. I love our growing family!

Jack not name; Jack job
Sorry for throwing in a Muppet Movie line, but Jack has two jobs. One is at Cabela's and one at Costco. Luckily, they are just down the highway from each other. He is working insane hours. I'll be happy to see him on Thanksgiving or Christmas.

Bighorn Sheep
I looked out my window this morning and saw a bighorn sheep in the backyard. We have many strange animal sightings on the island, but not this. Barb down the street swears she saw the elusive cougar that appears occasionally. This huge sheep does not seem like an island native.

Quilting Class
I hope everyone is enjoying quilt class because I'm loving it. Even though it is nearing the holidays, I enjoy taking a morning and spending it with my friends. We are working on an improv tree today.
