For Carla's Granddaughter

The blocks in this quilt were made by members of Carol Hopkins small group for Carla's granddaughter, as a wedding gift. It's an exceptionally stunning quilt and I felt honored to quilt it for them.

Thanksgiving 2008

Dan and I had a wonderful Thanksgiving dinner at Elaine and Jerry's home in Columbus, Ohio, along with Jeff and Dané, my grandson Matt, and my ex-husband Jack. The first order of business was the wedding quilt. They were pleased with it, I think and I was certainly proud.







The actual dinner was yummy. Elaine and Dané are wonderful cooks and we were all stuffed when we got up from the table and the pumpkin-walnut pie had to wait for several hours before we had room to enjoy it with some coffee.



Here's Jeff, Dané, and her parents

I gave Elaine the Christmas Star table runner that I finished the binding on in the car on the way to their house. It looked just perfect on their table.



Saying goodbye is always hard for me, so we made a rather speedy exit before I really let the tears fall.

Thank you Jerry, Elaine, Jeff, and Dané for a wonderful Thanksgiving!
