Happy Thanksgiving

I got the binding sewn on the quilt and have one side and just around the corner hand sewn. I really like this binding fabric with both sides of the quilt.
Thanks for all of the good wishes for my dad. He is feeling better. They put a balloon in his nose in the ER to stop the bleeding and his Dr. gave him a prescription for an antibiotic. The ER Dr. doesn't think cauterizing is going to work this time for repair. We see a specialist Friday afternoon at 1 who will take out the balloon and analyze the situation. Then Thanksgiving dinner is at 5 the same day at my house. I have all day today to finalize cleaning, set the tables, and bake the desserts. I will have the morning Friday to make the salads, peel the potatoes and prepare the turkey. Then I will stick the bird in the oven and leave to pick up Dad. Lets hope it all goes well.

The quilt is gorgeous! I am reminded why it is I am collecting Kaffe Fassett fabrics for a quilt :)
You sure have some busy days ahead. I hope it all goes well, and wish you a very happy Thanksgiving :)

Hi Wanda,
Happy Thanksgiving! Sounds like your day is organized and busy preparing for your dinner tomorrow.
Hope your dad does OK with the appointment on Friday.
That binding is perfect for that quilt (of course). Are the fabrics 100% Kaffe?

Vicky F, The quilt is more than 90% Kaffe with a few Phil Jacobs fabrics too. So it is all Westminster/Rowan fabrics.

Happy Thanksgiving.

I guess I missed part of a post, because I didn't know about your Dad. I hope all goes well there.
Peace to you.
