I was thankful for Afton and Keyona’s help in peeling potatoes for mashed potatoes for our Thanksgiving lunch.
Mother enjoys a moment with her great grandson Teryn Ray.
Quinten smoked a turkey for our lunch. Evie made gravy and carved the turkey.
After lunch I pulled out a gingerbread house for the grandchildren to help decorate.
Evie did a wonderful job squeezing the icing, letting the children place the candy on the house, and keeping order.
I think I like Dr. Seuss’ books as much as the children. And I’m always glad “that the Grinch’s small heart grew three sizes that day!”
Afton is basting her quilt getting it ready for the machine quilting.
She bundled up for an airplane ride and then had some waiting time so she diligently kept on quilting.
Keyona getting her quilt basted.
Mother’s hexagons are making beautiful flowers. Just look how nice and flat they lay.
All finished except hand stitching the binding to the back.
And June did a lot of that hand stitching.

Tell your mother that I love how her hexie flowers are coming along! Mine have had to wait in line while I finish up some Christmas sewing!
So glad the girls got a turn making quilts at your house. I know they will treasure them and the memories! I like Grandmother's project very much! And I just bought myself a bunch of Dr. Seuss stories. I love the grinch story too, but my favorites are "The 500 hats of Bartholomew Cubbins" & "The King's Stilts" & "Oobleck!"
So cool. The whole familiy is quilting, love it!
It looks like you had a wonderful Thanksgiving filled with love and family.
So good to see younger folks enjoying the art of quilting.
Your Mother has the sweetest smile.
Have a great day.
Always, Queenie
Looks like they had a memorable holiday. By definition, I didn't know squares could be wonky. ;) They look awesome.
A house of quilters so homey and comfy:) We have some gingerbread house kits we need to get at soon too! Yours turned out marvelously!
Sure looks like you had a wonderful Thanksgiving. It's really nice to see younger folks enjoying the art of quilting.
You have a lovely family. Thanks for sharing your day with us. I love that you all quilt and help each other out. Thanks for linking up.

I love seeing photos of your mother on your and Polly's blog. And Barbara's. Seems silly because I don't know any of you! There is just something lovely about her face. She is looking a bit pale and tired in these latest photos though. Hope she is OK.
Lovely to see the younger girls quilting. They are doing very well!!! But then they probably have good teachers:)
What splendid quilts! I hope that the girls are very proud of them!
oh, as always I'm astounded by your design and color sense! The whole family seems to have it too! loved it all

Love those wonky squares. The girls both did a terrific job!
It looks like the whole family is having a great time. A perfect holiday
Wow! 3 generations of quilters, what a legacy you are passing on! The girls quilts are awesome, so Bold & Beautiful! Grandma's Hexagons are going to be gorgeous when she puts them all together!
It looks like your family had a wonderful holiday! It's great that the girls are loving quilting at such a young age.
Thank you so much for sharing at Needle and Thread Thursday!

The family that quilts together. . . Love it!
What a wonderful family filled Thanksgiving. The girls' quilts are lovely!
So wonderful to see generations sewing together! And it's beautiful work, too.

Love the wonky squares!
I echo all of the above - a beautiful family making beautiful quilts and memories together, how delightful. Looking at June hand binding reminds me why I prefer to sew it by hand and not machine ... we might give all our quilts away but we get to snuggle under them first :)
Lots to be proud of in these family pictures! Beautiful work all around.
