Stuff

I went to Silver Bells this past Friday in downtown Lansing with some friends. I have never gone before and it was pretty cool. The weather was great and there was a ton of people there. What I could see of the electric light parade was nice. The state tree is pretty and the fireworks were great. Some of them had such large explosions that a few of us were joking about running for cover. Its an Army thing.

My husband's uncle died unexpectedly yesterday, so a funeral is in my near future. The details are still sketchy at this time, so I'm not sure if it is going to affect our Thanksgiving plans or not. At this point we are still moving ahead as planned. Tomorrow after work I will be baking the pumpkin pie. Yum.

I'm pinning the last 8 blocks of my double delight rolling star blocks. I can't wait to get these bad boys sewn together. They WILL BE done tonight. Then I can start looking at the lay out. I forgot about the triangle end pieces, so last night I went looking through the stash to see what pinks I have. It could be an interesting layout. I can't wait to get it done.

Next I have to finish the quilt I started for my sister so I can get it quilted and sent to her. It was suppose to be her X-mas present but I don't think that is gonna happen. I don't think she will mind getting it a bit late.

I'm giving up all my fabric scraps to my long arm quilter because I'm never gonna use them. I did find a big piece of green batik in the basket, so I'm thinking I'm going to have to keep that piece. I might have to rummage through the basket before bagging it up for her.

I hope everyone has a great Thanksgiving!
