Eat. Win. Quilt.
November 14th, 2009
LITTLE did I know when asked what everyone was having for dinner on the previous post… that I would actually MAKE someone’s dish. I was all settled in after treating my hubby out to a fine Kosher meal (the Costco hot dog stand), reading all the wonderful comments left for me… and then I read Vanessa’s. She was taunting me to go see what she made for dinner. Vanessa’s version of ding-dong-ditch. Ding-comment-ditch. SHE GOT ME!
I went.
I saw.
I HAD to make.
I think I said ohhemmgee about 20 times when I first saw it. If you’re ohhemmgeeing too… hurry. That little craft-minx Vanessa is dangling the fabric carrot for only a limited time - so order her pattern NOW.
I added a few potatoes to mine. Just a 6” circle stitched yo-yo style and then stuffed. The carrots and potatoes were a good TV time project. Though I should have paid better attention to what I was doing… I accidentally took a bite out of the Thanksfabrigiving turkey. And now I’m stuffed.

Thank you all for the sweet comments on the Quiltmaker’s 100 Blocks giveaway. I wish I could have responded to them all - so group hug and thank you! It was fun to see what was for dinner and what people’s fave color combos are at the moment. Ramble, ramble, ramble… the meat and potatoes of it all (or turkey and potatoes) is that random.org picked Dorothy of Doki Quilts. Congratulations, Dorothy!
Also on the pattern front - my “Two Happy” freebie-4-youbie pattern for Lecien, featuring Lecien’s ADORABLE new “Old New Fabric Collection 30’s” fabric… is now available on Lecien’s website on their FREE PATTERNS page.
One pattern. Two Quilts. One for Momma, one for Baby.
So… what’s for dessert?

The turkey is a hoot. I thought it was real at first glance.

November 14th, 2009Yummy, your turkey is just beautiful!! I love it!! Also, low cal, low fat. My goodness when does the creativity ever end, I just love your Lecien pattern. Keep up the great ideas.

Wait, are you saying that there is something wrong with Costco hot dogs for dinner?? After reading this, I think that is exactly what we will be having. (Are you aware that Costco doesn’t serve Dr Pepper? So disappointing.) LOVE your version Thanksfabricgiving. Pure awesome.
Looking forward to our block party in Safeway! One of these days we should all get together for a REAL one.
November 14th, 2009gives new meaning to “stuffing the bird!”
November 14th, 2009What a hoot!

November 14th, 2009that. is. awesome.
Oh I love that turkey! I want to make one!
And for dessert, you simply MUST make a pie, with little fabric cut-outs on the top!
November 14th, 2009I showed your pictures to DH but he said I still have to make real food. No fair, I would much prefer to play with fabri.
November 14th, 2009You’re killing me.
November 14th, 2009Oooooooh!! Der Truthahn mit dem Gemüse und den Kartoffeln sieht so wunderbar aus!

OOOOH! MYYYYY! GAAAAAAAHWD!
November 14th, 2009You are such a talented woman..The turkey and veggies are really cute..I gave you a 10 on the dancing with the chairs, by the way.
November 14th, 2009That is HI-larious!!!! I may serve that to the vegan cousin who is visiting for Thanksgiving. Vegan! Like I know how to cook anything without butter and/or cream! I did buy a special refrigerator magnet the other day in honor of it all. It says “Meat is Murder. Tasty, tasty murder.” Was that wrong?
Your Happy Quilts make me happy. I really should make something with my sixty-zillion 30’s FQs. You know, once you join that FQ club online, they just keep coming and coming and coming. Until you remember to call them one day and say that you have just been buried under the latest shipment and please stop for now.
I made apple crisp for dessert tonight and topped it with ice cream, two scoops.

November 15th, 2009I love your quilt! Thanks for making the pattern available to us.
November 15th, 2009So adorable. I love your taters, too. :) Thanks for throwing out that OTHER project for me. I really needed one since I only have like 4 or 5 others going right now. :) tee hee Dessert in my house would be a bag of Cheetos. I love cheetos. :)
November 15th, 2009Great turkey, fast make! Just love it. Mmmm I love your Lecien pattern. What a beauty! Thank you so much (O:
November 15th, 2009Have a wonderful week.
And … congrats to the winner! Lucky you (O:
Ooo! Now I’m really hungry for turkey. What a fun project to make for the Pre-Thanksgiving feast. At least it’s calorie free, right?
Love it!! The carrots and potatoes are wonderful too!
November 15th, 2009oooooh “craft minx” makes me sound kind of sexy.
i’ll have to tell the husband that. maybe we can play that up somehow.
your turkey and potatoes turned out perfect!
November 15th, 2009glad the instructions were clear and you were able to create your feast in the nic of time!
Way too cute! Thanks for being a part of this blog tour!
November 15th, 2009I was watching the Travel channel the other night, and they were doing a piece on Voodoo Donuts! The commentator got to actually MAKE a voodoo donut, and it was so cooool! I thought it was pretty funny, since you had posted about your love for them. :) Wish I was there…
November 15th, 2009So wait. Are you the one who does the cooking? I thought that was SW3. Nice job on the turkey — don’t forget to baste it!
November 15th, 2009Well of course I’m thinking pies for dessert….I know yours would be adorable and creative just like you!
November 15th, 2009I love the turkey & your addition of the potatoes…a nice well rounded meal…thanks for the giggles as usual!
happy everything,
lori
love it and I love your new bag pattern in the latest magazine. you are on a roll big time.
November 17th, 2009I love your stuffy turkey dinner! That is CUTE. Vanessa is a genius, I must head over there right away. And btw, pony was very disappointed when she found out that the ‘wine’ at church was really only grape juice. x
November 17th, 2009OMW that turkey is yumolishous!!!!!!! What a sweet pattern! I surely have missed visiting your blog :-)!!!!
November 17th, 2009OMG!!! That turkey is da bomb, dog!
Going to grab your quilt pattern for myself now. Yippee!!
For dessert? Why tomorrow night it will be Pumpkin Cranberry Bread….want some??
November 17th, 2009gobble, gobble & bob over to the sewing machine!
that quilt is just precious. Do you think it would work using scraps? more random? or would that be busy?
or how about a memory game type quilt for kids?
instead of the 4-piece square use one piece of fabric & repeat it somewhere for the child to find?
63 squares would keep a child busy for at least 10 minutes, yes?
I am going to be a grandmom, x2 ! 1st bambino-mid January & #2 near 4th of July! could possibly be twins, too. yikes.
November 18th, 2009happy holidays, Holly
Pumpkin bars with cream cheese frosting…they’d go great with the turkey..gobble, gobble…I have to run off now and go get that pattern.
November 18th, 2009chocolate cake? i love that you added potatoes!!
November 18th, 2009LOL!! This cracks me up!! I’m so so tempted to make this and take it to my M-I-L for Thanksgiving since she has always sticks her nose up to everything I cook (even though my husband swears I cook 10x better than her!).
November 20th, 2009Never thought of the Thanksgiving turkey as being cute….but this one sure is. By the way, I made your adorable itty bitty bags and posted them. Thanks for a super great pattern.
November 24th, 2009Looks like the perfect holiday dinner! Low fat and high in fiber!
November 24th, 2009I believe this is what they mean by a “delightful dinner”.
November 26th, 2009Thanks for the smile this Thanksgiving day!
Honestly that is so life like, I mean unlife like…you know what I mean! The potatoes are the special added touch. Hope your Tday was wonderful MSS…xo Pam in chico
November 27th, 2009Oh my! What a perfect Thanksgiving meal.
:)
November 28th, 2009You’re so awesome about whipping all of these cool ideas up… I love it!!!
December 7th, 2009You are a sick woman, and I love you. And I can totally relate, of course. I’m especially fond of the carrots and potatoes. Please add some cranberries next year.
