I'm using my walking foot.....after using it to quilt a baby quilt a the free sew I really like the way it works and how nice the machine quiling turns out. I will take pictures of the finished project at the Christmas party so you can all see it.
I need to get back to quilting......I have to put binding on it when I have finished with the quilting.
I wish all my readers here at my blog a Happy Thanksgiving. I'll be at my Mom's tomorrow with my sister and part of her family and my daughter and son in law. We will miss you Bryan, Heather and Lauren but look forward to seeing you at Christmas.
Enjoy today and don't eat too much.
There is a blog that started on January 1, 2008 and every day the gal there is using her crock pot....so almost 350 days of recipes. You can go back through the months and read all the good recipes she's posted. She even cooked a whole (small) turkey in her crock pot. Amazing.....check it out http://crockpot365.blogspot.com.
I spent most of my time yesterday quilting this baby quilt......I used my walking foot and the attachment that comes with it......this is the posh tot quilt that I made months ago.....I'm quilting straight lines from one side to the other.....about 2 1/2 inches apart......it worked good using he walking foot.
Pat was working on a nine patch quilt.....beautiful fabric.
Here is the room early in the day.....people come and go.....work for awhile and then leave. We enjoyed a tasty lunch and snacked all day.
Dianah pined up her outfit for Laney after she sewed on the ruffle on the pants.
Rosemarie was working on a quilt for her 5 year old grand daughter......a very nicely done quilt.

Liz W worked on several projects......she sewed together this cup cake pin cushion. Looks good enough to eat.
Cathy came in later in the afternoon and layered this quilt so it would be ready to quilt. Its a kit from Lady Bug quilt store. Makes a nice fall throw.
Barbara worked on her quilt from the class she took from Dianah at Lady Bug quilt store. I really like the fabric she used and the way she used a few bright colored in with the black and white.
Sandy used today to machine two quilts......this is the first one....it's so much easier to machine quilt down at the library because you can put two tables together and have lots of room that's hard to come by at home.
Shirley worked on this black and white quilt.......I have this pattern and can't wait to make it.....I have collected lots and lots of black and white fabric.
Teresa laid out her newly found chicken fabric......looks nice.
Dotti is working on this flannel quilt for her college aged son......very manly fabric.
Dianah is working on this Christmas outfit for Delaney......love the fabric and the way she's used it in this cute outfit.
Cheryl is working on finishing this batik leaf quilt. Love all the beautiful colors.
Close up of one of the leaves.
More pictures tomorrow.
Dianah made this quilt as a sample for a class she's going to teach at Lady Bug Quilts in Manteca. The pattern is from the Threaded Pear Studio...web site here. She said it sews up fast and makes a quick and easy baby quilt.
Liz is finishing up her fall table topper.....she's working on the quilting.
Lue-Anne is working on a fall table runner......here you see her laying it out on one of the large tables at the library.
She's using raw edge applique.....and fusing the leaves on the block.
I have never seen this baby fabric......it's so cute. What a cute baby quilt!
Close up of one of the blocks on the quilt.....love the look on the baby's face.....I need to find some of this fabric!
On the outside in front of the large building is a stream.....built with lots of rocks and look at these cool deer.
Over the door that you go through is the quote.....welcome fisherman, hunters and other liars....look at the deer heads and whole stuffed deer. All the stuffed animals inside and outside the store are donated to Bass Pro by families who don't want them hanging around anymore....and they have lots and lots of different stuffed animals.
Looking down from the second floor to the main floor.
Here is the waterfall and fish tank with native California fish inside. When have you ever seen a waterfall inside of a store?
I will go back and shop here again.....wow....you could wonder around here for hours and hours and not see everything. When ever you are in or around Manteca check out this store.
Bridget made this Christmas table runner and taught it in a class up at Standard.....said you could make the top in about three hours.
Bridget has been very busy.....she made nine take five quilts to give to her family for Christmas. She showed us three of them. I sat next to her and she spent Thursday night sewing on the binding on the quilt below. Love these colors.
A close up of the quilt above.
Another take five.....beautiful colors.

Flowers on this quilt.

Bridget plans on making the family pick numbers and then go into a bedroom and pick the quilt they want. I think that is a smart way to give away quilts and no one will be mad if they get a quilt they don't like.
This was the line to go into another room and get samples of food......we did not do this as we had dinner before we came in.
After they took your ticket you received a bag of grocery's....and coupons all kinds of good stuff in this bag.
This issue of Taste of Home Fall 2008 was used and some of the recipes were demoed last night.
During the night they gave away lots of good stuff......Taste of Home cookbooks and I didn't win till the end when they gave away the food that was fixed last night. I won Chocolate Chex Caramel Crunch and the bowl......very cool. I took it to work today and everyone was on a sugar high all day. I will share the recipe below.
Enjoy.....
