Thankful Thursday #8 and Happy Thanksgiving

Welcome friends and thanks for stopping by!
Today is Thankful Thursday and Thanksgiving!

Today I am Thankful for this time to gather with my family. Even though there will be empty seats at our table this year I am still Thankful. I had my time with those who are not here. They had finished their task here so The Lord has called them home! Sure I will miss them for many years to come and it is painful right now because it is fresh but I know that I will see them again one day! 

If you have time tell me a little about what you are Thankful for! Have a very Happy Thanksgiving!

Hugs and best stitches to you,

Giveaway WINNER!

Wow thank you all for participating in my Giveaway. I hope you all had fun hopping all over the web in the Quilting Gallery's

So here is the part you have all been waiting for. I had 44 participants. Yes I know this is not the best way to do this but...this is the way I chose to do it.

 

And the WINNER is.......

I agree with everything she says here. There is simply not enough room here and you would all get board reading what all I am thankful for!  

I have already emailed Barb and she has emailed me back and she is so excited to get the pattern. Barb I want to see the finished quilt.

Remember just because you didn't win the pattern on my blog doesn't mean you can't have it. You can buy it straight from Camille Roskelley on her website Thimble Blossoms  

I would like to wish you all a 

I hope you all have a chance to gather with your family and express to the Lord and each other how truly Thankful you are.

I want to thank each and every one of you who dropped by and left me a comment. I did read them all even though I did not respond to them all.

Blog Hop, a Giveaway and Thankful Thursday # 7

Hi Friends
Today is a busy day for me. Well the past few days have been busy for me and with much more to do I don't see any down time in my future. Before I get to Thankful Thursday I want to tell you about the blog hop.

Michele over at Quilting Gallery has organized a Blog Hop. Everyone who is participating is also having a giveaway on their blogs. You can find the list HERE 

The "Hop" starts today November 21 and runs until November 26th so I hope you hop on over and visit some of the other blogs. Who knows you might even win something!

Now on to Thankful Thursday

Today I am thankful for food and shelter and basic things that we all take for granted everyday. This week I have the pleasure of making two green bean casseroles to take to my church and they in turn will add a turkey and trimming and deliver them to needy families in our community. 

You see as long as I can remember when I lived at home with my parents and ever sense my husband and I got married. I can never ever remember doing without. I have done without the things maybe that I wanted but never the things I needed.

So for that I am very Thankful! So if you would like tell me something you are thankful for this week.

So here are some better pictures of the quilt top that I finished the other day. The one I said I was going to give to my mom to quilt because I was so tired of looking at it.

I got a chance to take some pictures outside. I really like the way my quilts look outside. The only thing wrong with these pictures right now is that everything is brown. That is Florida living for you we go straight from green to brown here.

O.K. on to the part of why you are here the giveaway. I have always loved the mother/daughter duo of Bonnie & Camille. 

Camille Roskelley has just put out a new pattern and I ordered one. Well two actually. It is called round & round and the first place I really noticed it was on instagram. They were tagging or hash tagging (#) the blocks #roundandroundalong

Well I just fell in love with them so I decided I would buy the pattern and try my very own. If you don't win the pattern here you can buy it from Camille at here website HERE or you can check at your local quilt shop.

Here is how to enter to win this pattern.

 You must first be a follower of my blog. You can follow on Google+, Bloglovin, Feedly, or Feedspot. 
Comment and tell me what you are most Thankful for right now. That's it and you will be entered to win the Round & Round pattern. (Please comment only one time and make sure you are not a non-reply blogger or you can also leave your email address in with your comment)

I hope you all have fun hopping around blog land and thanks for stopping by here to visit with me and share what you are Thankful for. 
Have a great weekend!

Hugs and best stitches to you,

Thankful Thursday #5

Hi Friends 

Today is Thankful Thursday.

Today I am thankful for rest and God's beauty that he has created for us to look at. I am resting from my vacation and from working on our project of the shop/quilt studio. Let me just say I am going to try to get some things sewn up but this is my busy time of year so we shall see. (fingers crossed) 

What are you thankful for this week?
