Yesterday at the market the checkout line was long so I started a conversation with the person behind me. We talked about how large the yams were this year and how good they are for you. She said her grandmother used to bake them whole and put butter and sugar on them right out of the oven - which is how we used to eat them! We shared a few more childhood food memories and it made me realize how much we all have in common. The market requires that you bring your own bags (no more plastic bags) and she had forgotten hers. They were giving away free bags with purchase so I gave her mine. Pay it forward - booyah!
I follow Pat Bravo of Art Gallery's blog and she shared photos of her overflowing scrap bins. She wanted to used them to make quilts to donate to Project Linus. I make quilts for Quilts for Kids a few times a year so I offered to make one for her. Here are the scraps I received:
So pretty all starched and ironed and sorted by size. This was my first time working with her fabrics. Thought I would have to add lots of solids to break up the scrapiness but only a few cream triangles were needed. The collections are so well coordinated that it went together like magic! This is the front.
This is the back.
So cute and so much fun! I know that it will bring a smile to a child. Well I have to wrap this up and do a little cooking. My large and in charge family is gathering for a potluck at my oldest sister's house and I was assigned vegetables...
HAPPY THANKSGIVING!
Love and light,
Patsy
