Thanksgiving

There was a LOT to be thankful for at this Canadian/American Thanksgiving feast.


I'm getting hungry again just looking at the pictures!

American/Canadian Thanksgiving

The view out our window this morning. I think the frost is even thicker now...so beautiful and Christmas-like.


We are invited to our friend's place in North Dakota to celebrate American Thanksgiving a couple of days late because we Canadians didn't get Thursday off work. My contribution is Pumpkin pies, lemon meringue pie, chocolate pecan bourbon pie and bourbon cranberry sauce.

Fabrics

Here are my gift fabrics unfolded. Each piece is 18 inches by the width of the fabric so there is lots there to do something with. I will definitely be thinking a bit before I cut into them. I could see a beautiful romantic bag from the pattern I have been using lately. Some of them may appear on a spring or summer wall hanging which will follow the autumn and winter ones.

We had two Thanksgiving feasts this year thanks to Brenda and Du from North Dakota who did a bit of cross-border friend shopping last summer. The Canadian one is in October and the Americans celebrate in November. Great timing, I'd say!

Thanksgiving

Everyone just left after our big Thanksgiving dinner. We had turkey with stuffing and gravy, sweet potatoes, mashed potatoes, salad and three kinds of pie. I forgot to take a picture until we were already eating the pie but you get the picture anyway. Carmel, everyone is waving at you and wishing you were all here.
