Yes there is life after Feathered Star!!!

Thursday I stopped at Cottonpickers to pick up some 50% off fabric for quilt backings.

 

Beth asked me what I was working on now that my Feathered Peacock Star is at Becky's for quilting.

 

I'm currently working on two Lisa Moore Quilts with a Twist kits from Alaska for my friend Doris.  She and her oldest son's family traveled to Alaska this past June.  She bought the kits to decorate her basement as a reminder of the trip.

 

 

Aurora Garden with a Twist

 

This one has been fussy cut and some of the blocks are together.  The fabric for the outer blocks and the borders on this one are directional so I need to pay attention when putting them together.

This one will be next.  I need to press the fabric and and use template plastic to cut the panel into the correct pieces.  I love how this looks like you are looking through a window!!

I purchased this kit when I was in Alaska almost 5 years ago.  It's finished and I may have Becky quilt them all at the same time.

 

The Buckeyes Won and so did I, I won the Chili Cookoff!!!

 

I downloaded these pictures from Facebook, they says it all  !!

We attended the 12th Annual Ohio State vs. That Team from Up North party in Ohio City today.  So while the fans in Columbus where cold in the Shoe we were cold in Ohio City!!

 

The alumni and fans that put on this party do a great job!!!

 

Each year they have a Chili Cookoff competition.  I placed second 2 years ago!!

 

This year I WON  !!!

 

 

I was almost more excited about winning the Chili Cookoff then winning the game!!

 

Oh wait that's just stupid!! 

 

We are undefeated and beat Michigan again!!!

 

Great season Buckeyes can't wait for next year!!!

 

Thanks Coach Meyer for a great season!!!

 

After all it's only 371 days until we play Michigan again!!!

Ohio State Football vs. That Team From Up North Week!!!

Yes, I realize that it is Thanksgiving Week, which means cleaning the house

and preparing the Turkey and all the fixings!!  Spending time with family and friends and being thankful for everything we have!!

 

It also means changing out the front door quilts for at least one day!!

But at the same time we(the alumni and fans) are so excited that the Ohio State Buckeyes are 11-0 and are the winners of the Leaders Division of the Big Ten, in a season that no one really cares what we do!! Go Buckeyes!!

 

Now we just have one more game on Saturday at Noon to finish off a great season!!

How will our Defense play against TTFUN's new quarterback and Denard Robinson?  That question will be answered on Saturday.

I will be eating, drinking, performing Script Ohio and enjoying the game at the annual party in Ohio City.

Speaking of eating, I need to make Chili for the Cook Off competition.  I won second place a couple of years ago and really want that trophy!!!

 

I'm wishing everyone a Happy Thanksgiving and Go Buckeyes!!!!
