Thornberries Day

I love TB day. I sure I have said that before. but I do! love the show and tell, love the swaps we do, love the talent of these fun ladies!


anyway, it was at my home this time - dust and boxes every where and all! lol..... I made this last year and finally sewed the sleeve on the back while everyone was here. at least it is on the wall! This is the 2nd Halloween decoration I have out. the only 2! this table runner was one of the things Vicki sent down to me. it's a Patrick Lose pattern. love it!
This is Sue's patriotic quilt. she did a swap of 5" charms that were red, white, and blue. didn't it turn out great?

This quilt is Sue's also. this was a quilt that Sue did while in Nimble Thimbles. I even did one of the blocks. I have had this pattern - it's from a fons and porter magazine, several years ago....
I really am going to have to make this. it is soooooo pretty.....
This is my quilt. another Christmas one! this is leftovers. I still had lots of this fabric leftover from 2 other quilts I had made with this fabric. all that's left is just little bits of scraps. whew.....

This is a close up of Sue's little itty bitty 9 patch quilt that some of the gals are swapping. Sue has been sewing hers together all along. it gives me a tiny twinge of regret that I didn't do this.


Now, since it was at my home and it's Halloween and I LOVE Halloween!!! I asked everyone to bring there scariest food. we had blended body parts - coleslaw! spiders with eyes - chocolate covered Chinese noodles. LOL
mummy dogs.....


and eyeball soup! eyeball soup is homemade tomato soup. the eyeballs are mozzarella, with a slice of green olives with pimento. I couldn't find any mozzarella balls, so I just bought a large ball of mozzarella, sliced it about 1/4" thick. then took a small round cutter (mine was about 1 1/2" wide) and cut circles. I just laid the green olive slice on top. I put all the eyeballs on a plate and let each person place an eyeball in there soup. I think it looked pretty cool. the mozzarella melts and gets misshaped, but still looks pretty good. it made everyone laugh.....

Thanks ladies for a fun day!
