Mid November

 Now that the little girl’s hair is all stitched on my granddaughter’s Christmas stocking, the rest of the stocking is stitching up quickly.

I know it will be done for Christmas now. 

I finished quilting the rust colored block. The four blocks on the poles are not fun to quilt at all. Two of the edges are much too thin. Thankfully, there is only one more of those left.

 

I've marked the centers of the next two blocks to be quilted. 

The baby blanket has two more rows attached. There are only three more left to complete and then the border. 

I tried my hand at baking Sage loaves that had wheat germ added. 

The recipe is from an old Taste of Home magazine and it made two small loaves.  I can't find it online. My mother in law loved it. Hubby and I thought they were good, but nothing special. 

Cranberry Orange quick breads have been baked to give to my daughter and her in-laws. The recipe is from a Better Homes and Gardens cookbook from 1985. 

 

My mother in law received a small one also and I kept one small one for me. 

Thursday saw me making this Sweet Potato bake to bring to our celebration with our daughter and her family. It is an old recipe. You can see my mom's notations in the margins. I don't put the marshmallows in it as it is very sweet. Nor do I use the pecans. I do use large marshmallows on top.

Here it is before the first bake.

Thanksgiving is coming this Thursday here in the US. There will just be three of us. Not a lot of prep needed. 

I am joining Frederique at the Quilting Patch today and Kathy for some Slow Sunday Stitching tomorrow. I hope you take some time to relax with some tea or coffee and pop on over to their sites to see what other bloggers are stitching. 

Happy Thanksgiving!

Thanks for stopping by!
