Happy Thanksgiving

As expected, there was no time in the sewing room yesterday. When I looked up after writing yesterday's post, I found someone staring at me from above the book case on my desk:

Purrhaps you would like some help finishing your quilt binding?

And she helped by staying off my lap, purrfuring instead to watch over my shoulder from her window shelf.

I think both kitties are going to enjoy having their RV cubbies when we get these shelves installed in the fifth wheel.

And so, yes, I'm thankful today to have finished this quilt, started nearly six years ago!

It's Raining Cats and Dogs, a pattern by Bunny Hill Designs, was started 12/12/13, and finishes at 55 x 62 inches. Here's how it looks from the back. That's a gray fabric with white polka dots, but it doesn't show up well in the picture.

And even if there was little accomplished on the sewing front, there was plenty going on in the rest of the house. I finished off two side dishes, and did a pretty good job of cleaning the place up for our guests today. We'll have seven at our table today.

So I'm grateful for many things today, including you, my bloggy friends. This post marks the 10th Thanksgiving since my start as a blogger. I'm grateful for your helpful suggestions and comments, and your continued support of our quilting, cooking, gardening, and catitude here at the Three Cats Ranch. Maybe you've seen this little poem by CJ Beaman, but I'll repeat it here as my wish for you today:

May your stuffing be tasty, may your turkey be plump, 

May your potatoes 'n gravy have nary a lump, 

May your yams be delicious, may your pies take the prize, 

May your Thanksgiving dinner stay off of your thighs.
