Did you hear about the Thank You Blog Hop Party? Â Michelle from the Quilting Gallery is sponsoring it. Â Bloggers are all getting together and having a big bunch of giveaways November 21st-26th. Â You can go to each blog to sign up and win something.
I am guessing many of you are new to our blog so before I show you what we’re giving away, I thought I’d show you around.  To the right under the ads are our tutorials and free patterns.  Each Tuesday we host a “Try it on Tuesday” where we review quilt books and quilt related goodies often giving them away to our readers.  We’ve been busy with a foreclosure house we are remodeling and hoping to move into next year, farming and quilting.  We always have fresh new posts once or twice a day.  I hope you’ll keep coming back as we love share our time with you.  One of the easiest ways to keep up with us is via our Facebook page.
Kelli and I dug through the prize pile and found a great book from Martingale and Company, Country Threads Goes to Charm School by Connie and Mary from Country Threads.
It’s an awesome book. Â The premise if to take one charm pack, add some yardage and you have just what you need to make a project.
Would anyone like to win?? Â I can sweeten the bunch just a bit by throwing in a little pack of 5″ squares to get you started on your first project.
Each day in November up to Thanksgiving I’ve been writing about something that I am thankful for….
Today I am thankful for our “new” house. Â If you’d like a peak at it you can see it here. Â We have gotten a few bids in and remodel may cost more than we expected leaving us having to scale back a bit. Â I am still thankful though. Â I am really ready to start a new chapter in our lives. Â Last weekend we got a couple things that will make the remodel a bit easier. Â It just makes me happy knowing the work we’re doing is ours and for us.
If you’d like a chance to win the goodies, leave a comment telling something you are grateful for. Â We’ll pick a winner in a week or so or whenever I remember.
Most thankful for my husband who was right there beside me through my recent illnesses.

I understand the being thankful for your house.
We moved from suburban Fort Worth, Tx to a very rural area of Missouri a couple
years ago. I put my foot down and told my husband that if we were moving we were paying
cash for our new house as I did not want a mortgage payment hanging over our head. We
are so glad that I put my foot down about that!
Now we own our own little slice of heaven free and clear.
It’s so wonderful that you got your new house. Congratulations! My father build our home when I was young and did almost everything himself with us kids helping.
