early family thanksgiving

I had planned a short trip to Wilmington to check out Sew Happin's which is closing and to stop by Hampstead on the way home to drop off some quilt tops to be quilted.
I had contacted my nephew to see if he was going to be at his restaurant so maybe we could have lunch together.  That wasn't going to work for him but he said his dad, my brother, was coming and would have supper why not stay and spend night.  I made arrangements for Cecil and stayed.  It turned out my other nephew, his wife, their cousin and step brother came too and they planned for this to be our Thanksgiving as they would be in Cuba then. Great fun and watched "Hemmingway in Cuba" which I thoroughly enjoyed.
Anyway here is Lily, LaVonne and me.
When our mini bee met a suggestion was made that we needed to have a picture of each person actually sewing so here is mine!!!



I am making two strip sets and then will use 30degree ruler to cut out triangles to make a table runner.
Not that I don't already have 3 Christmas runners.  Oh well.
Now to do some quilting and get these projects finished.
chilly quilting.
