Early Thanksgiving

The turkeys are so inexpensive at the grocery store that I decided they were too good to pass up.  We got our turkey for Thanksgiving, but our freezer is too small for more than one so we had turkey today.  I made sweet potatoes with Lipton onion soup mix, Stove Top stuffing, broccoli and cauliflower, and gravy .. now I'm cooking the bones in a pot to have soup later this week.  I'm feeling very domestic.

I finally decided what to do for the boy baby quilt I'm making.  Here's the first block.  I'm using the same fabric for another boy quilt I made a year ago.


I'm excited to have a plan.  This is the first nine patch I've made.




I'm also going to make a girl baby quilt and for that I'm making a stacked coin quilt.

Ahhh a Domestic Goddess!
Such cute rocket fabric. I;ve been toying with the idea of making some nine patch blocks. I started cutting out squares and then remembered I should be sewing strips together and then cut them up, sigh.

Woah! Looks like you found your mojo!

Cooking and quilting all in one day? What is going on in the house of Thea.

Your 9 patch looks perfectly brilliant.

Mmmmm.....turkey! good any time! We managed to pick up our Christmas turkey using points from our grocery store, so it cost us............nada! Love those specials! And love the red print going into that quilt - can't wait to see the finish!

What is a good price for turkeys this year? I glanced at the turkeys today but thought they were still high at almost $2 per pound.

What is your sweet potato and onion soup recipe?

You have been really busy with cooking AND sewing.
