The Prep Before the Meal

Anyone who has prepared a 

holiday meal for family and friends,

 knows that it just doesn't magically appear

on the table.

When everyone is licking their lips

and oooing and ahhhing 

 over the deliciousness

of the meal

there is a kitchen like this in the background.

It takes a lot of work to 

finally get to this point. 

The same thing happens when making a quilt.

I've been working on 

the ThimbleCreek Quilt Shop's

Halloween mystery quilt

since July.

I've had Halloween fabrics in piles

for months.

We got the final clue last week.

Yay!

Now there are literally

500- 2" four patches to make

for the lattice.

 Of course,

there's pressing involved

 and lots more sewing.

Eventually,

 the blocks and lattice strips

will come together.

And then the big reveal

ooooo, ahhhh.....

Delicious!

But not yet.

I'm still cooking
and making a mess.

Until then

have a wonderful Thanksgiving

counting your many blessings.

 Until Next Time-
