I've been really busy this past week, but not much stitching has been happening. I did get most of a quilt binding stitched down on the drive to Texas. I'll show it when I get it finished.
My mother turns 80 on Tuesday. We had a party for her on Saturday. My youngest son, daughter-in-law and grandbaby flew to Texas from Alaska for the week. This is part of why I've been busy.

On Sunday, we got a photo with 4 generations on my hubby's side of the family.

Since we won't be with my son's family at Christmas, we brought the Christmas presents with us and celebrated early. I finished my daughter-in-laws project bags the day before we left Illinois. My daughter-in-law considers herself a Hufflepuff (Harry Potter).

And remember these two quilts?
Here are the cuties (with parents) that these quilts were made for.
The week has been full of medical procedures and surgeries for several family members, while we've been here. One more left on Tuesday. So far, all of them have been successful, thank goodness. It's been a stressful week.
Happy Thanksgiving!
Cheryl, how great you could all get together. You will always treasure that family photo. Stress or not, you were all together.

How wonderful they were able to visit!! That Gwendolynn is such a doll...I'll be it's hard to get your fill! But how precious to have four generations together. Really special! Were your family affected at all by the earthquake in Anchorage? Praying they're safe. :)
ReplyDeleteLove those family pictures! Glad all the medical stuff is working out. I think it is easier to be the sick one than someone who loves the sick one.
ReplyDeleteHow fun.... seeing all the family. Thanks for sharing your pictures.
