Setting the Thanksgiving Table from From My Carolina Home

Our Thanksgiving table is set for two, as we spend this day with each other. Starting with a special breakfast, we spend the day relaxing and enjoying parades, football and food. I place the settings so we can look out on our wonderful mountain view during the meal.

I put my Turkey Talk Placemats and table topper on our pub table and selected turkeys and pilgrims to create the centerpiece.

This year I put white stoneware dinner plates on copper chargers with the turkey salad plates on top. Crystal water glasses, individual salt and pepper shakers, and our good silverware ...

I Sewed! from From the Strawberry Patch...

Yes, I did it; I sat down at the sewing machine this weekend and actually sewed! This is the sum total of two days' work, not much in the grand scheme, but it's HUGE after these last two weeks of being sidelined! Yay!! These were already precut and labeled before my little trip onto the brick sidewalk, if they hadn't been I'm not sure I could've gotten this far. I'm unable to use the rotary

multiples . . . from Count it *all* JOY!

This past weekend was a loooooong, lovely weekend! I had a retreat with my Stitcher's Etc. group at Hinkle Hill Retreat House in Bell Buckle, TN scheduled for Thursday through Sunday. But since I knew I'd miss my boat day with Todd on Friday, I took an extra day (Wednesday), which we spent on the lake . . .

It was really a gorgeous day. Blue skies and popcorn clouds! We didn't get into any rain (you never know when a little storm cloud is going to pop up, because of the high heat and humidity), but we did see ...

sweet, sweet, sweet . . . from Count it *all* JOY!

Lots of lovely little tidbits from the past week. First up, my daughter-in-love, has created a *sweet* home business called "Madelyn Mae's Bake Shop". She makes the loveliest, tastiest cookies! How do I know they're tasty, you may ask? Because she sent me some!

Tea cups, tea pots, and quilt squares! And in purples, no less! It was a fun snail mail package to receive! She's so talented!

And I know autumn is on its way, because I've started to feel the pull of all things pumpkin . . .

Picked up this sweet Benartex metallic pumpkin panel. I ...

celebrate on . . . from Count it *all* JOY!

I may have shared that I give as much time as my birthday wants to be celebrated. A week where you only work two days and have the next five free is as good a time to continue celebrating as any! I gave a whole post to the Tate Farms fun, but I'll condense the remainder of the long weekend here. Mostly. I think.

Thursday, the weather continued to be beautiful, and since a wet, cool front was moving in on Friday, our regular boat day, Todd and I decided to go ahead and get our lake action in ...

Pumpkins. I mean, right?! Doesn't everyone's mind work this way?! Haha! You know, I rarely buy wool kits because I enjoy picking my own wool for a project. When I found this darling pattern, I knew I'd definitely want to kit it from my own stash!

I had just the perfect combinations to work with! Does anyone else work out colors/fabrics this way? I do love the end game . . .

Of course it still needs to be blanket stitched down, but ...

Special-ordered sweatshirt from Quilt in Progress

My mother-in-law had two special sweatshirts ordered – Grandma’s pumpkin patch had the names of all her grandchildren. Granny’s pumpkin patch had the names of all her great-grandchildren.

After her death in 2019, my husband’s sisters wanted to know if I could think of anything to do with the sweatshirts. I’ve made pillow covers before out of t-shirts, but I wanted to do something different for these.

I decided to stitch around each name-with-pumpkin to make a small quilted ornament. I keep batting scraps in a tub in case they are useful for small projects, and it ...

Yes, that is my quilt on the cover of the September 2021 issue of American Quilter magazine. How awesome! I made “Corn Maze” using amazing batiks from Moda‘s Sunny Day collection. The fabrics have all the colors I most love and fun textures that add lots of depth to the design, making it really difficult to choose just a few for a project. Batiks are my most ...

Well, I aim to please, so I came up with a new pattern, my Buffalo Check Table Topper, which is really two patterns in one.

Baking Day and a Sample Sale from From My Carolina Home

It was a rainy day on Friday, and I decided to fill the house with the aroma of baking and cinnamon. Once I got started baking, it turned into a whole day with Christmas movies on the TV. I like to keep home baked treats in the freezer for My Sweet Babboo. He likes a slice of tea bread in the mornings with his coffee sometimes. I started the day out with the pumpkin I recently baked for this purpose. I had a total of three cups of pumpkin from the little pie pumpkin from my Autumn decorations. So, with ...

What's New? from From the Strawberry Patch...

I'm piecing pumpkins and couldn't decide which background color to go with; tan or black. I've been weighing my options and have gone back and forth, I really liked them both, I couldn't decide. The setting will be sashed with that same background color, the pumpkins will float over that background. Here's the setting and the pattern name and source; it's a simple block and a cute, seasonal,

happy october . . . from Count it *all* JOY!

Hello October, I'm so happy that you're here! It's *birthday* month and it's blog hop month, too! :)

I finished stitching up Mr. Jack O'Lantern!

He's such fun. But I felt he needed something a little more than a hoop or mug rug finish. I think I found (or rather, made) the perfect solution . . .

Yay! It's a slipcover for a Christmas pillow I've had for ages. I may go back and quilt the face of it later. Maybe. Right now, I'm liking is just as it is, where it is!
