Was anyone else dragging the day after Thanksgiving? I sure was. I managed to get a Trip Around the World quilt cut for a friend and sewed a couple more rows of my batik Winding Ways while I had some pep. I spent more time looking at quilt books than anything else.
You all convinced me yesterday to give the skeleton scraps I showed to my friend. She will be here on Monday, art quilters' day at my house. I will go on to the large scraps and yardage. Thanks for the help!!

You made the right decision about those scraps. I love the fabrics for the Trip Around the World! So nice of you to cut them for a friend. I had a lot of energy yesterday, but that is because I didn't eat any turkey the day before. (We already celebrated Thanksgiving last month) You probably ate too much of that triptophan-laden poultry.
Wanda and Hetty, They say that isn't true now. LOL. It is instead that a noirmal Thanksgiving dinner with all the sides is over 4000 calories and that is what makes you so tired. Between the pie and all the salads and fixings I can see how that happens. I am a scrap saver and they can be overwhelming with the amount at times. Chris
Nope, no dragging here. We were still at my parents house. And given the fact that I was quite restrained with how much I consumed on Thanksgiving, I think that might have lead to my pep. Although, I wish I could have been home to sew a little. However, we are home today and that is in the plan!! Love the strips!
nice colors of strips that you have. I was dragging yesterday too and I didn't even cook on Thanksgiving.

Love those strips, is that a Negley fabric?
I had a very light dinner and didn't drag yesterday either, I had an early doctor's appointment. There were only 3 cars in the entire medical complex - his office was the only one open, LOL. Since I only went to the grocery store afterwards, I avoided the Black Friday crowds. Was able to get a good bit of sewing done [patting self on back]. Sew forth and sew on!
For someone who was dragging, you sure get a lot done. All I did was sit in a comfy chair and hand embroider for hours. Only got up for left-overs. Yum!
I got a little sewing done and some crocheting.
Love the range of fabrics for the new quilt.
I agree with Laura W. Your idea of dragging is most times my whole day of work. *L*
Glad you had such a nice Thanksgiving.
So now it is 2 days after Thanksgiving... and I do not know which way to turn... And now we have Christmas to look forward to... doing it all over again.
I always enjoy studying your graduated color strips, seeing how each blends into the next piece of fabric.
re: yesterdays scraps... They sure make an artistic photo and I can see them being sprayed with an adhesive and pressed down on a sheet of art paper. They are so narrow... will your friend top stitch them into place ? Or how will she use them ? Tell her one of your blogging friends is really curious.

I NEVER drag or am let-down after Thanksgiving - I am always thrilled that the cooking is done, I have food in the frig., and won't have to cook for days, and have several days off! 8-))
Glad you are letting go of the skeletons ...
Transition ... Thanksgiving/fall to Christmas/winter ... always a challenge on a short time frame ...
I am still dragging!!!
I think the older you get the faster these holidays come again. It just feels like we just did this!!!
