I actually sat down behind of my sewing machine , aka: Evinrude, and made a little progress on two WIPs that have been sitting around for awhile. Last year I had my family list a few things they were grateful for. I wrote them on muslin and embroidered each one. My plan was to make a Thanksgiving table runner for last year.. I'm now hoping to have it done by this year...

Here are some of the embroidered blocks...

One of my daughter's...

You can tell the top block in this picture is what my husband is grateful for...

I also worked a little bit on my
'Farmer's Wife' quilt blocks... I stitched up these two blocks. (#27 and #32)

Here is what I have so far...

The colors are a gray green and were inspired by a tree I pass by almost everyday... if I leave the house of coarse. LOL
~~~ As for
Evinrude, he is my sewing machine. I named him that after the little dragonfly from
'The Rescuers'. If you've never seen it, you should... such a sweet movie.

Love the table runner idea. I will have a lot of family together for Thanksgiving this year and will use it as an opportunity to capture such sentiments - thanks for the inspiration!!
