Grateful, Thankful, Blessed
Thanksgiving is fast approaching, which puts me into the thoughts of Gratitude and blessings that I've received from far and near.
Seeing this Gratitude quilt by Diary of a Quilter gave me the idea to use my saved signature
blocks (from friends in Venezuela) and add other blessings and make a quilt
similar to this one--I've saved those blocks for years and always wondered
how to display them.
I’ve saved these since 2008–a couple of those signed
Have their angel wings, several live in different states but
Many are in the same region—fond memories every time I
Bring these out to admire
Another stitchery shows our Thanksgiving thoughts throughout the year. This is designed
Turkey Trot by Sewing Loft would make great placemats for the Thanksgiving table.
