And,
HAPPY BIRTHDAY
to my beautiful twelve-year-old granddaughter, Zoe, who was born on MY 46th birthday ! We're the turkeys today, girlfriend !
Today I am thankful for the gift of health, being able to prepare this big meal for my husband and myself, both being able to eat and enjoy it ! Praise God for his goodness !
I am thankful for my daughter's post cancer surgery recovery, and, again, HER being able to prepare the Thanksgiving turkey for her and extended family !

Dax's quilt, finished
I didn't get a really good picture of the finished quilt. It was evening when I finished putting the label on, and the next day, I tied it up with a ribbon right away, so this is the best photo that I can share.
This is for my niece's newest expected arrival. She has two beautiful little girls already, and they are excited to be expecting a BOY. Their last name being Norris, my brother teased them, as soon as he found out the sex of the baby, that they would have to name him "Chuck". Well, we figured, NO WAY !
So when I got the baby shower invitation, and I saw that the baby's name will be Dax Charlie, I HAD TO NICKNAME HIM CHUCK ! So I added that to the quilt's label. My niece told me at the shower that I am TOO MUCH like my brother ! LOL !
The back, which is not pictured, set the tone for the colors that I used. It is a beautiful, flannel snow-globe print from Connecting Threads, in the colors of aqua, grey, and poison green on white (with a touch of red, which I didn't use). I also used the snowman print to make her a diaper-changing pad, backed with a plush towel, and a bib that features one white star, just like the one pictured above.

Dax's quilt in progress........
........I'm working on a baby quilt for my niece. She is expecting her third child, a boy, to be born sometime in December.
This is the design that I worked up while using EQ5.
I think I have come pretty close in translating it.
I have pieced the top from some favorite fabrics that I have been hoarding for a quilt for myself! I HOPE that it is appropriate for a boy, but am a bit worried. I do think it's beautiful, however.
I got it basted yesterday, and am contemplating how to machine-quilt it today.
