First things first. More pictures of baby Nora. I have been remiss in sending you pictures of my favorite baby.


Nora and Sophie the giraffe!


Lady of Leisure


Nora is 4 months old.

I must say she is pretty cute. I talked to Jennifer this morning and Nora was sleeping...it is evening in The Netherlands. Nora is doing great and learning to imitate her mother. We will miss them this holiday season but I look forward to seeing them in the spring.

Would any of you be interested in having a class during which we would make Quiet Books for babies? I want to make one for Nora and I think I need the inspiration of others to get me going. I have some supplies gathered and even have a video of some suggestions for pages. Let me know you thoughts.

And now the pictures.


Sorry we didn't hold this up for a better view. This is Leigh's doggie quilt. Oh so cute.


Mary Ann's Reets pin cushion.


I love Sharon's faces.....not Sharon's face!


We love Reets Rags to Stitches patterns.






You can tell we are smitten.






We love things in progress. I am amazed at how much we get done on our sewing days.

OK, I don't want to tire you with too many pictures. I hope your plans for Thursday are going well. My grocery list is getting longer and longer. Lots of fun to plan and nice to gather with friends and family. We have so much to be thankful for.

At Grandma's House
I like the taste of turkey
Any time throughout the year
But it never
seems to taste as good
As when Thanksgiving's here.

Could be it's all the trimmings
That are cooked with it to eat-
But I think it's
eating at Grandma's house
That makes it such a treat!

A Turkey Speaks
I have never understood
why anyone would
roast the turkey
and shuck the clams
and crisp the croutons
and shell the peas
and candy the sweets
and compote the cranberries
and bake the pies
and clear the table
and wash the dishes
and fall into bed
when they could sit back
and enjoy a hamburger.

It was a good thing that my open studio was scheduled for the day it was because I just barely escaped the snow! It was a fun day and many friends stopped by to see where I love to sew. A friend who I hadn't seen in years, Joy, came and I was so happy to see her again. When I owned The Quilting B, the best thing about being there was all the new friends I made. I probably would never met many of you if it hadn't been for those years! Thanks! Here are a few of the pictures from that day. Ellen came with her project and it is beautiful! My neighbor, Monica is helping me have a great time! Along with the stitching, it is a time to make more friends and to know each other a little better. Our dog, Oscar, loves to be with people. Jean and Julie are keeping on task! And then it snowed!!!! Yard art! But the dogs are happy inside. When Oscar walked outside when it was icy, he would walk along the top and the...

I guess if I'm going to get anything else written before 2013, I'd better get at it. Earlier this month Loren and I went to downtown Portland and watched the Tuba Christmas. It was held at Pioneer Courthouse Square and was beautiful. Listening to that many tubas outside was wonderful. It was a little misty and a bit cold but all crowded together, it wasn't bad. I love the old courthouse. Tried to get the flag billowing out, almost. It is such a beautiful old building. We don't have many buildings like this, we tear them down and make something new. nice tree...great back view of someones head! After watching for a while we went to.... Besides the greatest smelling cigars, they sell their wonderful cigar boxes. I was looking for a perfect one to give my daughter with a scarf that I knitted for her. Of course, I found one and sorry I didn't take a picture of it. It is black and just perfect for her. Score!  A little l...
