We are actually hosting 4 International Students from the local university this Thanksgiving. One girl from Sweden and three students from Taiwan. This will be a most unusual Thanksgiving this year.
ReplyDeleteHere in Canada we have already had our Thanksgiving. It was special this year as it was shared with my parents who are both in their late 80's. Blessings to you and yours.
ReplyDeleteWe will have 16 at our table this year including 6 grands under the age of 7. Will be loud and fun.
ReplyDeleteWe plan on spending it enjoying the blessings of family as we all get to be together on thanksgiving. Have a great one.
ReplyDeleteThe best Thanksgiving will include lunch with family, then working on binding for the Christmas quilt gift in the late afternoon.
ReplyDeleteRight now, our plans are up in the air. It all depends on when my step brother can get in town. He recently moved to WV for his job, so we do things whenever he is around.

Cute idea, and a fun way to use hexis!
ReplyDeleteI will be spending my Thanksgiving with my husband and Brother in Law doing our traditional Lancaster getaway. We started it when my kitchen was out of commission over the holiday, and we have enjoyed it so much that we've done it 4 of the last 5 years. Thanks for the generous giveaways!
ReplyDeleteIt is just my DH and I this year, so we are going out to eat! ! !
ReplyDeleteWe will be hosting my family this year---about 25 people. Fortunately, they are all bringing covered dishes! I loved watching your videos with Miss. Star and Fat Quarter Shop--your technique is so innovative! I'd love to win this ruler and pattern.
ReplyDeleteWhen I host Thanksgiving for my family, I love looking at the November cooking magazines for new recipes and then selecting ones I am going to make. Bon Appetit seems to be my favorite "go to" magazine ... love most of their recipes. Hope you and your family have a great Thanksgiving!
ReplyDeleteWe are celebrating our Thanksgiving tomorrow - the Saturday before because it's the year for all our kids to go to the inlaws. Can't do without our own feast, so we will enjoy it early!
ReplyDeleteWe don't celebrate Thanksgiving here in France. Thank you for the giveaway, Linda
ReplyDeleteGreat pattern! My sister and I alternate Thanksgiving and Christmas, so for Thanksgiving we'll be hosting - that's a day of cooking for me to serve a traditional Thanksgiving meal for ... 4 people! She'll do the same at Christmas ... we're a small but hungry family :-) Thanks for the opportunity!
ReplyDeleteThe KT Honeycomb ruler -- what a great tool! We will be home for Thanksgiving this year. I'm planning to cook and enjoy the leftovers that will give me more time to quilt! :o) Thank you for another great drawing!
ReplyDeleteSimple plans for Thanksgiving this year - lunch a day early with my daughter and her family. She is a nurse working night shift and will be working overnight on Thanksgiving.
ReplyDeleteCute quilts. I have friends who keep bees so this would be a sweet gift for them. The ruler would be wonderful to have when making this!
ReplyDeleteThanksgiving will have just my husband & myself (& the 2 kitties). On Wednesday I cook a whole chicken in my crockpot, so I'll have lots of broth (& giblets) to make gravy, because on Thanksgiving I cook a turkey breast in the crockpot, and even though there's just the two of us, there's not enough gravy from just the breast for my husband. Happy Thanksgiving & thanks for the chance to win.
ReplyDeleteForgot to share our Thanksgiving plans- we're hosting a group of college students from Turkey this year. The Turks will be eating turkey! So looking forward to sharing and telling them about this beloved American holiday!
ReplyDeleteI really like this pattern! Some patterns are on the order of "ho hum, I'd never bother to make that but I really think I would enjoy making The Bees Knees! Thank you for showing it and giving us a chance to win.
ReplyDeleteMy Thanksgiving plans are to go to my brother's house along with my daughter and parents, his wife and kids and enjoy good food and good fellowship. Then on the weekend, up to Missouri for my husband's family to get together with more of the same, then Sunday with 'Old Timer's day" at church with more good food and fellowship with friends and family. I'm so thankful for it all!
Looking forward to Thanksgiving with my children and grandchildren. Three of us will travel from Iowa to meet the rest in Michigan.
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to get out of time and buy both the book and the ruler! I'm from Montana and we are ranchers. It's a long way to the nearest quilt shop!!
ReplyDeleteThis Thanksgiving we are going to my in-laws in Port Angeles WA. It's always a fun time. This will be the first time in 3 years we've been there for Thanksgiving, I'm so thankful things worked out this year. Happy Thanksgiving and thanks for the give away.
ReplyDeleteI am loving this pattern!! Thank you! I am hosting Thanksgiving - its always my holiday to host and I love it! This year about 20 people coming.

My favorite Thanksgiving was when my mom's entire family was at Granny's house. My mom had 11 siblings. Each sibling had between 3-6 children. I have 42 cousins and it was a crazy, wonderful time with all of them. Granny's house wasn't large, but somehow we all fit in. We ate in shifts, youngest first and then spent the rest of the day running and having fun outside. Wonderful memory.
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to try this quilt. I am hosting Thanksgiving and look forward to spending the day with family and especially my grandkids! Love all your quilts! Happy Thanksgiving to everyone! Enjoy the day!
ReplyDeleteWe are staying home this year and cooking our turkey on the webbe grill. I am also trying a cranberry sauce recipe that uses real maple syrup and fruit juice for the sweetner. Of course we will have all the side too. Have a nice holiday!
ReplyDeleteHow fun the Bees Knees would be to make. We are in FL for the winter and will have two other couples over who don't go back to their families for Thanksgiving. We are have all the traditional foods minus the green bean casserole as my friend makes the most awesome baked beans that are out of this world. Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family.
ReplyDeleteJust the two of us and our stuffed chicken, yams, and pumpkin pie. Great Bees Knees pattern, and I just love buying any of the KT fabrics!
ReplyDeleteI just received your book "Loose Change" and was so excited....until I found there was a specialty ruler that would be helpful to go with the book. However, disapointment went it's way and I am still excited, I just will have to wait until I can purchase the Five and Dime ruler. I love your patterns using precuts!!! I would love to win this KT Honeycomb ruler and the Bee's Knee's Pattern! Thanksgiving was spent at our neice's with lots of relatives and a special tribute to my neice who just completed her basic traing for the Coast Gaurd!! She was able to be home for Thanksgiving!! midwayfarms@hughes.net
ReplyDeleteWell Hello there.
ReplyDeleteMy favortie Thanksgving was when I was 9 y.o. and my birthday fell on Thanksgiving that year. The tradition in our house was Mom would make your favorite meal on your birthday! Mine was spagetti and meatballs, so for Thanksgiving dinner we had spagetti and meatballs. Because birthdays always took priority. I also got my own rocking chair and a Raggedy Ann and Andy doll set, I still have my Ann and Andy dolls.
Pssssst November has only 30 days not 31.
Have a great day :)))
