Well dear friends, I hope you have a wonderful Thanksgiving Day! Just wanted to show you one of my new Fall quilts, I think it blended in so well to the surroundings, that I am not sure that you can really see the appliqued leaves on it. It is a bit more striking in my living room, but at least I finally have my fall quilts done. My Granddaughter is happy, because she was old enough this year to realize if I just left out my Halloween Quilts ( because they are the fall colors too ) there were little witches and bats on the fabric. This is the first year she noticed it and reminded me that we couldn’t leave Halloween stuff up this year, we needed Fall (real fall ) stuff! These little ones keep us on our toes don’t they?
I just want to thank each of you for your friendship and kindness. Thanks for also sharing my creations with me, it has been a fun and challenging year.
Just finished the 12 days of Christmas projects, I think you are going to love them, remember that starts on Saturday the 26th , I will put the flyer below. Will share photos soon! Happy Thanksgiving!
Tomorrow is the 2nd Demo Class for November that I will be teaching.
We are doing Christmas ornaments and the Sprocket pillow, you will love it!
As usual, I will be teaching from noon till 2:00, so check you schedule and see
if you can fit me in tomorrow!
Thanks, Lynn
I have to laugh at my kids, they are so crazy and creative at the same time. This was a photo of Lee’s face and Matt Damon’s body from the Bourne movie. Haven’t seen that movies all the way through, much to violent for me, I am a Disney girl! I just don’t like all that other stuff. Anyway, Lauren is trying to teach Lee how to use Photo shop and this was the result. Funny huh?
I wonder some times how it could be possible that Lee is old enough to head to college in January with Lauren? It seemed like yesterday that he was in High School and coming HOME every day. We will officially be Empty Nesters by December 30th, I just have to take a deep breath and remember that this just doesn’t get any easier, even if it is my 4th child.
Now he is ready ( very ready ) and excited to head off on his own, as all the kids were. Jeff and I are still worried, and wondering if we have given him all the tools to make it out in the world? Some of those tools are common sense tools, some are social tools, some of survival tools, but the most important ones to us are the spiritual tools…does he have all of them and know how to use them? I pray that he does. All the kids have done well in life, they make the world a better place by them being in it, so we couldn’t really ask for more. Still my heart is aching to have these two crazy, fun and neat kids ready to head out of here after Christmas. But I am sure that I will be ok… won’t I ??????
For those of you who still have your little ones at home, cherish each minute, because before you know it, they will be grown and leaving home… just like Lee!

“ When mothers talk about the depression of the empty nest, they're not mourning the passing of all those wet towels on the floor, or the music that numbs your teeth, or even the bottle of cap less shampoo dribbling down the shower drain. They're upset because they've gone from supervisor of a child's life to a spectator. It's like being the vice president of the United States.” ~ Erma Bombeck
A few people asked me what pattern I made the Spider skirts from. Here it is..

Hope that helps, they are fast and quick but the best thing is that they twirl real well!
Enjoy!
Just a reminder that my November Demo Class is tomorrow. I will be teaching how to make cute and quick Christmas ornaments from batting and material. Also I will be showing you and giving you the pattern for the Sprocket Pillows…so lots of fun things, don’t miss it!
I teach from noon till 2:00 tomorrow and if you can’t make that, I will repeat the class on the 16th of November, same time …same place.
Hope to see you then!
Lynn
PS. Sorry some of my photos wouldn’t come up so I could show all the ornaments to you. Oh well, come and see them tomorrow…they look better in person!
P. S. S. Don’t forget that we are doing our Gratitude Basket Drawing for 23 days, each time you purchase something your name goes into the drawing. We pick a name at closing each day. Then the next day we start all over again we don’t keep the names in there for weeks…we start fresh each day. That way you have a better chance of winning on each day you purchase something. It is fun and there are some neat gifts in there go check them out!
