I also forgot to mention I'm selling grab bags from my scrap fabric drawers in an attempt to tame my overwhelming scrap collection. Unfortunately, I'm only selling these to U.S. customers.

The quilting on your PoD 2015 looks absolutely beautiful! And Sarah always does a lovely job for your quilts.

Have a happy T-giving and especially time with your family.

I'm having so much fun quilting my 2015 PoD. It's been my therapy!

I hope you are having a lovely day with your family. 💜

Thanksgiving got to love auto correct 🙃

I love how casually Marie is photobombing!

Thanks for the congratulations!

As far as Amber is concerned, I couldn't survive without her!

Yay for Amber coming through for you! The quilting so far looks amazing, you'll have quite the masterpiece when you get through. :)

Amber saved my bacon! Like I was telling Susan, working in the PoD has been my mental health saver.

Aaaaaah I love how your PoD is looking, what a great job on the quilting.

Seriously I am going to keep my eyes out for an embroidery machine on CL. Even if I only use it for quilt labels and occasional fandomy polos, lol. You and Susan are using yours to do amazing things.

You are correct because we were roomies when you turned 21! I was a little older. We won't say how much.Wow, I hadn't even thought of that. That is carazy. Phebe could meet her forever bff this year or the next, who knows???

Yay for Amber's rescue. I swear that only happens to me when I think I've done a great job on all the math. So glad you mnanaged to get some of the same fabric!

The PoD is keeping me from going crazy during this super weird and stressful time.

I keep thinking about our kids all being adults and it is STILL surreal!!

I've really enjoyed the embroidery machine so far, even more than. I anticipated. I don't want machine embroidery on everything, but a bit here and there is so fun! I saw a display at quilt festival about labeling quilts for future generations and I want to try my best to label every one from now on. I have a few that I need to go back and add labels to.

I think I bought the fabric for the PoD back without consideration for it being on the frame. It needs about an extra 8 inches total so it can be mounted. I used a little extra up top and ended up being 12 inches short. Thank goodness for Amber!

Oh, if that's true then my Xfiles back isn't big enough for your frame. :(

[ofenjen]

We can get around it by adding muslin or other scrap fabric to the top and bottom. I could have done that prior to starting this quilt if I'd realized it was too small, but once I'd already quilted so much, it was schooched way too far down for me to do anything about it.

Your work is always so lovely! And the embroidery is stunning!

As ever, I am happy to help when I can!

I see a MariePants!

Happy thanksgiving to the O fam!

[ofenjen]

Marie is getting really good at photobombing!

You saved my bacon. And my sanity! I didn't really want another fabric at the bottom and you made that happen! *glomps*

Hugs and happy Thanksgiving to you and your family, too!
