THIS AND THAT

 No much accomplished at all this past week.  A good deal of time on the phone back and forth with Thanksgiving dinner plans.  Our youngest daughter's family and husband and I share the Thanksgiving and Christmas dinner's hosting.  Depending on her work schedule, she is in the medical field and required to work each year one or the other of those holidays.  The one of us that is hosting organizes an assigned pot luck.  Our other daughter and our granddaughter along with the one not hosting are assigned various dishes and items to bring.  With four families that amount to 12 and sometimes an extra one or two people, sharing the menu means no one has to do all the cooking and grocery purchases.  We all live within a 30 minute drive.  It works very well, other than the fact that we end up with way more food than we needed, but the leftovers are handed out as well.

Our little dog Zoey now has two Christmas placemats all ready for the holidays.  

I fussed around with this storage bag.  It is supposed to have a velcro closure, but I am thinking more like putting a button and button hole on it instead.  The idea was to make a few for my guild's quilt show boutique.  I am not very excited about that idea.

I did finish the charity quilt top.  Once done I think it is really nice.  The idea was to use up all the fabric from the original 45 piece, never ending fat quarter bundle.  I cut up everything leftover and came. up with more than 72 squares cut at 6.5".  Another charity quilt I guess.  The left overs are in a bag and they are going to my friend Michelle.  She can make wheel chair lap quilts for Hospice out of them.
