Even though life is a bit chaotic I am making progress on Home and binding :) shopping Acorn & Threads Just Another Button Co. Project Home by Buttermilk Basin
No Anna you are not babbling too much lol💗💗💗 Girlfriend I could listen to you talk all day 💗 Thank you for keeping me company at 3am when I can’t sleep it’s like having one of my very own quilting buddies with me in my sewing room. Good luck with your house hunt can’t wait to see the new Beehive 💗 Totally get needing to be with the Grandbabies - mine are my life’s greatest treasure 💗
You will love being closer to your children and grandchildren, to be near enough to have family dinners, or pop over for visits....Your Hive will be lovely wherever you resurrect it! Just another adventure to have a new space to set up for stitching! Would love to see your project boxes, but don't create more stress yourself. And Thx for showing your HOME pillow front...now I want to order it.
Hi, Anna. We just moved from a 2 story to a 1 story house in August. Deciding what to "pack" away for a longer time and what to "leave out" (or be able to get to easier) was a process, but - you are right - by limiting your choices of projects to work on, you really can focus and make good progress. Please go a quilt WIP and Kit Parade!! I did a WIP/KIT Parade of my quilting, cross stitch and counted canvas work projects for my one year FlossTube anniversary in May 2020. I have a playlist of those 10 videos that it took for me to go through everything! Ha-ha! So, don't be embarrassed. :) Seeing and touching all of your projects again will likely re-ignite your passion for some and get you thinking about how you can finish others. (For example, I had two quilt projects I had partially cut out and made a handful of blocks on. I wasn't keen on continuing to make big quilts using those patterns. So, I freed up the fabric from one to make a baby quilt for a cousin and decided to make the other project into a table runner. I'm so happy those projects are no longer filling me with dread and guilt.) Have you and G considered building a new home? Or renting a home until you find one to buy? Happy stitching and quilting! -- Becca Klash in Georgia
I would love a project box parade. Don't be embarrassed... I would wager that most of us have way too many projects going on at one time... I know I do. But it makes me happy.
Be close to the Grandkids because they quickly outgrow being cuddled and loved on by Grandma. Love on them while you can. Good luck finding a new forever home.
Thank you for sharing your day with us ❤️ I've never tried almond milk in mashed potatoes, think I will try that. For the last few holidays I have been buying gluten free dressing mix at Trader Joe's and it's excellent! Think I will need to live three lifetimes to finish all my block of the month projects, I love them all!
Me too! My first BOM I bought my first time to Sisters from BJ’s. I’ve got so many. I finally stopped buying them until this year! I’ve gone crazy buying them, then don’t feel like sewing. It’s such a catch-22. Good luck with yours.😀
Oh my gosh Anna! A project box peek would be such a treat! Yes please!! It was lovely catching up with you again as I happily sorted through my next project. I’m cheering you on Anna as you and G go through this transition phase and I’m sure the perfect home and beehive will reveal itself in due course. Love, x
It’s A Wonderful Life, Elf and National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation are such fun movies, I live all the older movies. Brings back favorite memories with my parents. Our Thanksgiving will be very small. We need to keep everyone safe! Enjoyed your live event with Becca and Audrey, I was laughing out loud😍
The only Christmas movie I watch every single year is "National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation". It's silly and goofy but it makes my heart happy every year!
I finally got moved on Tuesday. Am now living in a castle of boxes so still no quilting. However, every day sees a little progress. We are lucky that there is still no lockdown again in our area but we are keeping a low profile. Glad to hear you are too. Would love to see your project boxes. Maybe you have more than me but probably not. Always enjoy your talking, you cheer me up. Hugs
My husband has NEVER watched Hallmark or Lifetime Christmas movies in the 30 years we’ve been together....but this year when they started playing on November 1st, he sat and watched one with me....and got hooked! We have watched 2 every night since about November 7th. You have 4 a day (or night) to choose from...2 from the 6:pm slot and 2 from the 8:pm slot, so he chooses one and I choose one...it’s been great!
You can babble on...I sew while listening to you and feel like a friend is in my sewing room. I am very fussy about Christmas movies, no Hallmark ones for me. I love the classic ones, "White Christmas", "Holiday Inn" "Christmas in Connecticut " (original only), etc. Even "Home Alone" is one of my must see every year. If you like Hugh Grant, "About A Boy" is wonderful.
The search for a new home is always fun but I'm picky, too. I'm enjoying watching the old classic Christmas movies and Hallmark ones. Today, I'm binding a quilt and watching UA-cam channels I haven't seen for a few weeks. Thanksgiving will be quiet here. No getting together with family. Just me, myself, and my 12 lb turkey with trimmings. Project box flip--yes! Love to you and G and Happy Thanksgiving!
I live in Eagle Crest. Love the area. Visit Sisters all the time.love Acorns and Threads. I miss it. Sewing down binding and watching you. Enjoying it my quiet time.
I'd love to see your project boxes. Fun fun. Hope all goes well with your travels and house hunting. I know you guys will be successful in finding just the right home. Love your home pillow. I think I have to send for that too. Be safe and happy holidays. Love your videos. So glad you are still doing them thru all of this!☺️
I know you will find the perfect home for you, Greg, and your Beehive! We moved at the end of August to our forever/future retirement home and none of the rooms were big enough for a sewing room so I ended up with 2! A main sewing room and another for storage, my Sweet 16, and another table where I can sandwich quilts. It was a good compromise. Have a very Happy Thanksgiving and continue to stay safe.
Dare, dare! Another thing you and G need to be thinking about and planning, is the intro to your future Quilt Roadie videos. I have always loved the current one, of the streets of Sisters, with G's music, you need to plan the next one for the Portland area. I feel like I am waiting for season 2 of my favorite show, anticipating what your next beehive is going to be, I'm so excited! My she shed doesn't have a bathroom, I have to walk across my garden area to the house, I guess I will have to strap on a depends if it gets to be a problem as I age 😆!
So glad to see you smiling and laughing today! Love your plans for varieties of projects - you sound just like me when I pack for a vacation. A little knitting, maybe some sewing, needlepoint, cross-stitch, etc. So that what ever the mood, the lighting situation, or the amount of other activity going on, I have something I can work on :). Wishing you the best and hope you enjoy your quiet Thanksgiving :)!
Love Actually!! No one ever mentions it, and it’s my favorite movie that I watch several times a year. I’m curious about your Bee Hive hunt because in about 2 years I’ll be looking for my perfect Bird House, and the rest of the house will go with it. Retirement home, much smaller than what we have now, and I won’t be sewing in an unfinished basement as I am now. I want NATURAL LIGHT!
I'm babbling back if you could hear me lol😁. Our daughter's working over Christmas rather than not being able to be with us and home alone. Our Christmas is just the three of us and so far the government Lockdown could change to tiers that keep us apart anyway. My favourite film to watch at Christmas is 'The Snowman' (by Raymond Briggs) listening to Aled singing 'Walking in the Air'.
You will find your next forever home and perfect Beehive. Hope you and G have a nice quiet Thanksgiving. I was planning to go to my daughter's but with an increase of Covid in our area decided it best if I stay home. I bought a small turkey breast and will make stuffing, etc. Will probably do some stitching and watch a Christmas movie. Hoping we can get together for Christmas or that will really suck! Stay safe and see you next time.
LOL...I take a gander inside all your project boxes for sure!! Hidden gold I'm sure! The only "new" Christmas movie I loved was The Christmas Chronicles with Kurt Russell. Now they have a The Christmas Chronicles 2, which I have not yet watched. If you haven't seen the first one, you should. It is a hoot. Loved it! We don't normally do anything for Thanksgiving, as that's just "our" holiday. We don't have kids, only fur babies (cats). However, at Christmas I always go down to see my 6 nieces and nephews and 9 great nieces and nephews. I sew them something every year. This year, the visit is out of the question, but I'm mailing them all snowman pillowcases. I'm going to miss them. I am praying for a fun 4th of July as I'll be in Sisters on that day enjoying whatever fun is to be had there. I've been listening to Christmas music for the last 2 weeks. It makes me happy. Hugs!!
Best of luck Anna. I’m in LA and my grandchildren are in Camarillo. Not that far to drive but their world and activities are keeping us apart. And I’m in tears over now not having seen them since last January in person. My health doesn’t warrant taking any chances so I don’t know when I’ll be able to hug them again. It’s a sad thing but I saw a statement recently that said better we’re separate now so that when we can be together again no one will be missing. Amen. Nice to see you always and follow along your journey. Be well and safe!
We were invited to Thanksgiving, but decided to decline. Our teeny tiny town has had 10 new cases this week. Now our daughter and granddaughter are coming over to visit a couple of people visiting in that home. Ugh. Christmas has me worried!!!! So want to go because our precious grandson is coming home from the Navy. He’s been on ship since April first, with only 3 days shore leave on a quarantined beach in Guam around the Fourth of July!! Talk about tough!! There are thousands of people on his ship. He is working 12 hours a day, 7 days a week. He is supposed to come home Christmas Eve. I want to be there!!! So Swanson TV dinners for us this year, for thanksgiving, hopefully not Christmas, too. Take care and have a great holiday. Happy house hunting. I vote for a project parade!! No need to e embarrassed.
We are locking down in Illinois again to, no dine in, only carry out. They have been allowing carry out cocktails here for months. I am working on an every other week basis one week remote one week in person. This week I was able to complete a baby quilt for a co worker, I was glad to get it done just in case we get shut down completely again. Christmas lights went up around here soon after Halloween. I hope to have a couple more quilts to the binding stage soon. One Christmas wall hanging and another lap size. Stay safe and Happy Holidays.
I’m happy for your move. I don’t envy your house hunting. We will together for Thanksgiving. No year is guaranteed. We will be just fine. Freedom is more important than anything. Christmas, the same. Love Christmas movies... White Christmas, Holiday Inn, Christmas in Connecticut and The Bishop’s Wife. Have fun stitching.
I'd love a project box look see! I would also like to see you work on O Tannenbaum and the Autumn Buttermilk Basin quilt you were working on. Your not babbling, that's keeping us company. Chin up, we will get through this.
The house will come, just keep packing and planning and it will show itself in due time. I'm glad that you're getting some time with your grandsons in between house hunting. A perfect respite. Agree that current Christmas movies are silly and lacking a plot. They don't make them like they used to. Show us your project boxes! There's no shame, lots of us have lots and lots of projects in the works ;-)
One of my favorite restaurants is in Portland. It is called La Provence.(may not be spelled correct) They have the best croissants and raspberry jam. Their entrees are amazing. Enjoy this time. I keep telling myself that 2020 is for getting projects finished and sewingroom better organized. Keep smiling and wishing you well!
I finished piecing the wall hanging version of the Welcome Home set this week and now I'm on to the wool applique. Thanks so much for the motivation to get this project out of the box and hopefully up on the wall for the new year! I can't believe how big it is. In my head, it seemed much smaller.
Hello! It was the Bonnie and Camille Shine on Sampler with the big bee; rainbow, etc. I remember because I had signed up for it and right after I had you mentioned in a video you had just signed up. I just got my fist block. Good luck with your move and searching for a new home. It will be so amazing when you find the perfect place - and you will! Happy Thanksgiving!
LOVE the babble! Not getting to be with any family this year. My mother is 89 and I have spent every holiday with her for 66 years! This is a first. But when we get our day, boy are we going to celebrate!😁 My daughters and sons in-law and grandkids are all going to zoom. Our plan is to try and talk my mom through it. Kind of a hit and miss with her success.😂 Talk about putting your big kids pants on....this is the year to wearing them all the time!! Your home pillow is going to be wonderful. Love the quilt. I do not find binding relaxing! 😬😁😬Hope your search for the perfect place goes smoothly! It’s out there!! Your positive attitude is contagious! Thank you so much!
It is so lovely to see you today! I enjoyed your "babbling"! Hope you've had a safe trip "over the mountain" and that y'all will have a wonderful Thanksgiving, even if it is a little different this year. I am hoping to do a bit of stitching that day; movies sound like a wonderful idea, also! Thanks!! I think seeing one of your project boxes sounds like fun! Don't be embarrassed; we are friends, right??
I'm with you on cocktails to go. Lol I think it's the ambiance. You know you're there to chill. I miss my peeps too. I've always thought myself a friend of a loaner, heck after this, I realize I need people. Barbara S made a song lol
I enjoy your "talk"! Would really like to see what is in your project boxes. Don't be embarrassed to show. We are all friends here. Have a Happy Thanksgiving!
I would love to see what's in your project boxes! I've prioritized my (22 qn size quilt tops) projects on a spreadsheet and I have friends pick a number between 1 to 8 to decide which one to focus on in order to actually make some progress. Otherwise, I'm like your chicken picking at all the pieces of corn too!
Such a great time watching and listening while I sew and cut along.Take your time looking for your new beehive,it will be exciting and fun following your journey.Hand sewing binding on is such a relaxing thing for me also.Would love to see a unboxing,it's fun to see and know we aren't alone.Happy Thanksgiving to you both and remember you aren't alone you have each other.
My favorite Christmas movie is It's a Wonderful Life. You're killing me with your Home pillow. I just love that but keep telling myself I can't afford that. Trying to stay strong. would be great fun to see your project boxes! C'mon, let's go for it. Have a blessed Thanksgiving to our Queen and G Bees, and all us worker bees.
Anna, keep on doing what you do! I sit down with my first cup of tea in the morning, pick up my I pad, and I can’t tell how happy I am, when there you are, waiting to chat to me😄. You set me up for the day. - (and I would love to see your project boxes) x
Yes please let’s see what’s in all those project boxes together! I can tell in your voice you are so much happier! Grandchildren can do that! Wishing you and G a Happy Thanksgiving and happy home hunting! It’s out there and you will find it!🦃😊
Yes! Show us your projects!! Show and tell is always fun! And don't be embarrassed.....the rest of us have more projects than we want to admit to also 🤫
Project box reveal sounds great. Hope you have a safe Thanksgiving. It will be Hubby , our daughter and me. Very small and quiet our grandsons will be with their Father (they are teenagers). But we will have them for Christmas.
I’ve been sewing small project bags while visiting with you. They are gifts 🎁 for a few of my friends. I need to make a few more for my projects. Blessings.
Always good to take it a little slower so you get what you need and want,, you will find the right home I am sure,what an adventure! Enjoyed the friendsgiving yesterday, it was good to laugh and see you all laughing and happy too. I also have Through the River to do too...thinking I will start in June.
Bable on sister I enjoy it. I get heavy handed with the tail part of my cocktail but I'm a fun girl. I enjoy the old cartoon Christmas movies. I started singing Christmas songs last week. That's way early for me. We're hunkering down because we're on lockdown. I would like to see your project boxes.
One time my husband and I were traveling with another couple in our 5th. wheels. We were in New Orleans. You could have a drink as long as it was a closed container. They considered a Styrofoam cup taped shut but with a straw a closed container. We would stop at a daiquiri place(had 100 flavors) then go to a mud bug place and get a couple of pounds. Sit at our picnic table and have a feast. So fun!
Hi Anna I have already started my Christmas shopping and done some wrapping of my Grandchildren’s presents,wishing you and G all the best with your house hunting and packing,Thankyou for sharing take care and stay safe 🇳🇿
The BOM you cancelled was Shine on the one with the bee block. I tried to get in on that BOM but was sold out. Bummer. Happy Thanksgiving 🦃 🍁. Enjoy your grandchildren. One of my favorite Christmas movies is The Family Stone with Diane Keaton.
In Pennsylvania we have strict liquor laws, but the restaurants are allowed to make drinks to go. The drinks must be placed in the back seat for the ride home.
We are doing Thanksgiving by ourselves, we are quarantined because my husband tested positive on Wednesday. I will miss my family so much! We hope to catch White Christmas soon!
Anna you are so funny! Here in New Orleans Louisiana we can walk around w/ a drink in our hand. We also have drive thru daiquiri shops. So you pull up in your car order and drive away w/ a gallon or a glass of frozen deliciousness. You and G have to come visit one day. Love ya girl
Have fun with your house hunting! I don't envy you searching at this time, but I know, it's always a challenge. I'm in my 11th house right now and I see another in the future. Happy Thanksgiving!!!
Oh wow....Portland. I grew up my teen years in Camas, Wa.... Just across the river. Oh my goodness. After my husband passed, I moved from Camas to Idaho. No quilt shop....ugh...
@@quiltroadies1695 cheapest rent right now. I prefer the greener areas. And, your right, no quilt shop right now. It's becoming a dream. But..... I'm happy quilting.
I am so glad i found u! And by the way i love the way u r chatting away u have such a beautiful calmness about u💟! It is very inviting! So glad i found u💟🙏🏻☃️🌲
Finally watched the rest of this today... so nice to hear from you! I’m feeling a little sad that you’re moving away from Sisters, but I totally understand wanting to be close to grandkids. I was blessed to have my 3 very close by in their growing up years. They are young adults now, and we have 1 great grandson who is 1.5 already. I’ve really missed seeing them; All of the adults in my daughters house work in “essential” services, so they have tons of potential exposure to the virus.... I have a dear friend who lives close by me who is fighting a blood cancer. I have been carefully avoiding exposure to Covid 19, as I take her to medical appts. She and I will be having Thanksgiving together.
Hi Anna I hope you find the perfect house and bee hive really soon. My favorite Christmas movie is , It’s A Wonderful Life, I just love Jimmy Stewart! Take care and You and G have a happy thanksgiving. Xoxo 😘
People are decorating for Christmas early in Portland. I have seen a few trees on top of cars this last weekend. Happy Holidays to you and yours.🦃🙏🎅🤶🦌🎄
We are staying in, have the lake to sit and watch. Or get out on a paddle boat. Have great grands a mile away that visit, cause they home school so they aren’t out in the public.
With so many people moving out of Oregon, California, and Washington you should be able to find a suitable new abode. Patience. Moving is stressful even when it is something you want to do. So be good to yourself and to each other.🙂
If you haven’t seen “Since You Went Away” with Claudette Colbert and a teen Shirley Temple, it’s a wonderful movie with a Christmas ending! We decided to cross country and go to our winter SoCal desert home. It will be hard to be away this year, but the 2 of us will have our little dinner, and wave to neighbors on our golf cart rides! I hope you have a nice holiday in the midst of your moving chaos. (I’ve been there a few times too🤦🏻♀️ so I feel your pain!). Take care.
Oh thank you for answering a question I had for you! So you will still be maintaining your Sister's address for now! Do you not get mail at your pied a terre in Portland before or after you find your new home? When do you have to be out of your Sister's house? Oh my gosh - that pillow is huge! Looks like it will be a comfy pillow! It is going to be fun to follow you with the monthly adds to it! We put our house lights up yesterday because it was sunny out and NOT WINDY! I cant believe I missed the Live Stitch group! So mad at myself!
Love to hear your "babbling" haha good luck with your beehive hunt and I would like to see all your projects then I won't feel bad about all of mine lol
Our neighbors started decorating for Christmas right after they took down their Halloween decorations! Way too early for me. At least wait til Thanksgiving is over!
Glad to listen to you, I don’t know the back story of your move but I know it’s nice to be near the Grands. We normally spend half the year in Canada and the other half in Arizona. Normally I miss our family but this year I’m so missing my friends - quilting and otherwise. We Zoom which is great and have been making our own QAL’s. It’s been so much fun to see everyone’s different ideas using the same pattern.
Thanksgiving is going to be tough, we were going to TX to see my grandchildren but we are staying homebound and even here at home we will not see family. So just give me a normal day and i will be fine. Lots of floss tube, I am into homesteading videos and Last Homely House.
We’ve had to go cocktails in Kansas since spring. Who wants to get takeout Mexican and not have a Margarita??? I want to see what’s in all or the project boxes. Enquirering minds....Good luck with the packing.
Have a wonderful Thanksgiving; enjoy your time together and your home. There are only 4 of us in my family and it really hurts to have to cancel, but, I know that we will be together next year. Happy house hunting; I know you will find the perfect fit.
No Anna you are not babbling too much lol💗💗💗 Girlfriend I could listen to you talk all day 💗 Thank you for keeping me company at 3am when I can’t sleep it’s like having one of my very own quilting buddies with me in my sewing room. Good luck with your house hunt can’t wait to see the new Beehive 💗 Totally get needing to be with the Grandbabies - mine are my life’s greatest treasure 💗
yes 3 am company is the best, LOL
My husband and I are in complete agreement that our next forever home will be one level! NO STAIRS!
Happy house hunting!
You will love being closer to your children and grandchildren, to be near enough to have family dinners, or pop over for visits....Your Hive will be lovely wherever you resurrect it! Just another adventure to have a new space to set up for stitching! Would love to see your project boxes, but don't create more stress yourself. And Thx for showing your HOME pillow front...now I want to order it.
I am get excited about the projects again!

Happy stitching and quilting! -- Becca Klash in Georgia
I am hoping I will be reinspired...we built the Sisters Home and he is done with that process...I of course would love another build, LOL
Yes project box show!! Safe travels take care 🐝well
I would love a project box parade. Don't be embarrassed... I would wager that most of us have way too many projects going on at one time... I know I do. But it makes me happy.
Be close to the Grandkids because they quickly outgrow being cuddled and loved on by Grandma. Love on them while you can. Good luck finding a new forever home.
Love your hook on your lamp, great idea.
Thank you for sharing your day with us ❤️ I've never tried almond milk in mashed potatoes, think I will try that. For the last few holidays I have been buying gluten free dressing mix at Trader Joe's and it's excellent!
Think I will need to live three lifetimes to finish all my block of the month projects, I love them all!

you better have a big mug of coffee for that project box reveal!
Gonna show my age, my two favorite Christmas movies are White Christmas and Silver Bells. Enjoy your Thanksgiving
It’s A Wonderful Life, Elf and National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation are such fun movies, I live all the older movies. Brings back favorite memories with my parents.

A project box .....Sounds like a great idea.....DO IT,🐑🐑🐑💕

I need a bathroom😂😂😂
Hand sewing the binding Dow is the best part of a quilt
So glad to see you smiling and laughing today! Love your plans for varieties of projects - you sound just like me when I pack for a vacation. A little knitting, maybe some sewing, needlepoint, cross-stitch, etc. So that what ever the mood, the lighting situation, or the amount of other activity going on, I have something I can work on :).

one of my favorites!!! I need natural light also!
A really good old Christmas movie is the Bishops Wife with Cary Grant!
Agree
I love The Bishops Wife movie!!
I'm babbling back if you could hear me lol😁. Our daughter's working over Christmas rather than not being able to be with us and home alone.

I bought a small turkey breast and will make stuffing, etc. Will probably do some stitching and watch a Christmas movie. Hoping we can get together for Christmas or that will really suck! Stay safe and see you next time.
sounds like a wonderful gift to your family.
I didn’t hear babbling. I’m so glad you are still taking time out from house hunting to join us. We love you and G.
you all are my sanity line :)
LOL...I take a gander inside all your project boxes for sure!! Hidden gold I'm sure! The only "new" Christmas movie I loved was The Christmas Chronicles with Kurt Russell. Now they have a The Christmas Chronicles 2, which I have not yet watched. If you haven't seen the first one, you should. It is a hoot. Loved it! We don't normally do anything for Thanksgiving, as that's just "our" holiday. We don't have kids, only fur babies (cats). However, at Christmas I always go down to see my 6 nieces and nephews and 9 great nieces and nephews. I sew them something every year. This year, the visit is out of the question, but I'm mailing them all snowman pillowcases. I'm going to miss them. I am praying for a fun 4th of July as I'll be in Sisters on that day enjoying whatever fun is to be had there. I've been listening to Christmas music for the last 2 weeks. It makes me happy. Hugs!!
I loved that one and started watching it again last night...love the jail house scene!!
In my group we call that the scissor walk when you have to go and you try to get there fast before you have an accident 😂
Best of luck Anna. I’m in LA and my grandchildren are in Camarillo. Not that far to drive but their world and activities are keeping us apart. And I’m in tears over now not having seen them since last January in person. My health doesn’t warrant taking any chances so I don’t know when I’ll be able to hug them again. It’s a sad thing but I saw a statement recently that said better we’re separate now so that when we can be together again no one will be missing. Amen. Nice to see you always and follow along your journey. Be well and safe!
wow that last line says it all....
We were invited to Thanksgiving, but decided to decline. Our teeny tiny town has had 10 new cases this week. Now our daughter and granddaughter are coming over to visit a couple of people visiting in that home. Ugh.
Christmas has me worried!!!! So want to go because our precious grandson is coming home from the Navy. He’s been on ship since April first, with only 3 days shore leave on a quarantined beach in Guam around the Fourth of July!! Talk about tough!! There are thousands of people on his ship. He is working 12 hours a day, 7 days a week. He is supposed to come home Christmas Eve. I want to be there!!!
So Swanson TV dinners for us this year, for thanksgiving, hopefully not Christmas, too.
Take care and have a great holiday. Happy house hunting.
I vote for a project parade!! No need to e embarrassed.
geez COVID sucks....2021 has got to be a banner year for loving
I would like to see the medical personnel make a video of how the stress is really affecting each other. It’s showing up for sure.
We are locking down in Illinois again to, no dine in, only carry out. They have been allowing carry out cocktails here for months. I am working on an every other week basis one week remote one week in person. This week I was able to complete a baby quilt for a co worker, I was glad to get it done just in case we get shut down completely again. Christmas lights went up around here soon after Halloween. I hope to have a couple more quilts to the binding stage soon. One Christmas wall hanging and another lap size. Stay safe and Happy Holidays.
you too...have a safe holiday
I’m happy for your move. I don’t envy your house hunting. We will together for Thanksgiving. No year is guaranteed. We will be just fine. Freedom is more important than anything. Christmas, the same. Love Christmas movies... White Christmas, Holiday Inn, Christmas in Connecticut and The Bishop’s Wife. Have fun stitching.
Embarrassed?? Nah!! Would love to see your project boxes!! Safe trip home! See you soon! Thank you Ann!
I enjoy listening to you. 💝
Project boxes sound like so much fun!! Do it!!
I'd love a project box look see! I would also like to see you work on O Tannenbaum and the Autumn Buttermilk Basin quilt you were working on. Your not babbling, that's keeping us company. Chin up, we will get through this.
The house will come, just keep packing and planning and it will show itself in due time. I'm glad that you're getting some time with your grandsons in between house hunting. A perfect respite.
Agree that current Christmas movies are silly and lacking a plot. They don't make them like they used to.
Show us your project boxes! There's no shame, lots of us have lots and lots of projects in the works ;-)
Boy do we!
I knew I was hanging out with the right crowd!
One of my favorite restaurants is in Portland. It is called La Provence.(may not be spelled correct) They have the best croissants and raspberry jam. Their entrees are amazing. Enjoy this time. I keep telling myself that 2020 is for getting projects finished and sewingroom better organized. Keep smiling and wishing you well!
Oh, yes... I think you should show us what’s in your project boxes! That would be so much fun to see😀
I finished piecing the wall hanging version of the Welcome Home set this week and now I'm on to the wool applique. Thanks so much for the motivation to get this project out of the box and hopefully up on the wall for the new year! I can't believe how big it is. In my head, it seemed much smaller.
Beyond Christmas is a real oldie on Prime. 40s
Hello! It was the Bonnie and Camille Shine on Sampler with the big bee; rainbow, etc. I remember because I had signed up for it and right after I had you mentioned in a video you had just signed up. I just got my fist block. Good luck with your move and searching for a new home. It will be so amazing when you find the perfect place - and you will! Happy Thanksgiving!
Oh man 🤪
LOVE the babble! Not getting to be with any family this year. My mother is 89 and I have spent every holiday with her for 66 years! This is a first. But when we get our day, boy are we going to celebrate!😁 My daughters and sons in-law and grandkids are all going to zoom. Our plan is to try and talk my mom through it. Kind of a hit and miss with her success.😂 Talk about putting your big kids pants on....this is the year to wearing them all the time!! Your home pillow is going to be wonderful. Love the quilt. I do not find binding relaxing! 😬😁😬Hope your search for the perfect place goes smoothly! It’s out there!! Your positive attitude is contagious! Thank you so much!
well...i survived a zoom funeral...I think the holidays will be a "peace" of cake! I used to never enjoy binding...but now things have changed!
It is so lovely to see you today! I enjoyed your "babbling"! Hope you've had a safe trip "over the mountain" and that y'all will have a wonderful Thanksgiving, even if it is a little different this year. I am hoping to do a bit of stitching that day; movies sound like a wonderful idea, also! Thanks!! I think seeing one of your project boxes sounds like fun! Don't be embarrassed; we are friends, right??
we are friends :)
Good to hear from you. Happy stitching and deep breath. I haven't see my kids over a year 😕 but it's what it is. We'll be through this.
hang in there we shall prevail
I'm with you on cocktails to go. Lol I think it's the ambiance. You know you're there to chill. I miss my peeps too. I've always thought myself a friend of a loaner, heck after this, I realize I need people. Barbara S made a song lol
I enjoy your "talk"! Would really like to see what is in your project boxes. Don't be embarrassed to show. We are all friends here. Have a Happy Thanksgiving!
I would love to see what's in your project boxes! I've prioritized my (22 qn size quilt tops) projects on a spreadsheet and I have friends pick a number between 1 to 8 to decide which one to focus on in order to actually make some progress. Otherwise, I'm like your chicken picking at all the pieces of corn too!
Love the visual!
Such a great time watching and listening while I sew and cut along.Take your time looking for your new beehive,it will be exciting and fun following your journey.Hand sewing binding on is such a relaxing thing for me also.Would love to see a unboxing,it's fun to see and know we aren't alone.Happy Thanksgiving to you both and remember you aren't alone you have each other.
My favorite Christmas movie is It's a Wonderful Life. You're killing me with your Home pillow. I just love that but keep telling myself I can't afford that. Trying to stay strong. would be great fun to see your project boxes! C'mon, let's go for it. Have a blessed Thanksgiving to our Queen and G Bees, and all us worker bees.
Love love this too
project boxes here we come
Anna, keep on doing what you do! I sit down with my first cup of tea in the morning, pick up my I pad, and I can’t tell how happy I am, when there you are, waiting to chat to me😄. You set me up for the day. - (and I would love to see your project boxes) x
thank you for bring here with me
Yes please let’s see what’s in all those project boxes together! I can tell in your voice you are so much happier! Grandchildren can do that! Wishing you and G a Happy Thanksgiving and happy home hunting! It’s out there and you will find it!🦃😊
I am with you! I like sewing my binding down by hand. I just think it looks so much better1
But my hands don't cooperative for that length of time to do a quilt. Hence, all machine binding now.
What a blessed friend you are.
Yes! Show us your projects!! Show and tell is always fun! And don't be embarrassed.....the rest of us have more projects than we want to admit to also 🤫
Project box reveal sounds great. Hope you have a safe Thanksgiving. It will be Hubby , our daughter and me. Very small and quiet our grandsons will be with their Father (they are teenagers). But we will have them for Christmas.
I’ve been sewing small project bags while visiting with you. They are gifts 🎁 for a few of my friends. I need to make a few more for my projects. Blessings.
Always good to take it a little slower so you get what you need and want,, you will find the right home I am sure,what an adventure! Enjoyed the friendsgiving yesterday, it was good to laugh and see you all laughing and happy too. I also have Through the River to do too...thinking I will start in June.
I love to hear your babble on your channel. It feels like having a great conversations with wonderful friends.
You will find that magic place to sit and sew and entertain the troops, I just know it. All the very best with your search.
Bable on sister I enjoy it. I get heavy handed with the tail part of my cocktail but I'm a fun girl. I enjoy the old cartoon Christmas movies. I started singing Christmas songs last week. That's way early for me. We're hunkering down because we're on lockdown. I would like to see your project boxes.
time for me to break out the Christmas music!
One time my husband and I were traveling with another couple in our 5th. wheels. We were in New Orleans. You could have a drink as long as it was a closed container. They considered a Styrofoam cup taped shut but with a straw a closed container. We would stop at a daiquiri place(had 100 flavors) then go to a mud bug place and get a couple of pounds. Sit at our picnic table and have a feast. So fun!
see...it could work!
A project box reveal sounds fun. Safe travels.
Hi Anna I have already started my Christmas shopping and done some wrapping of my Grandchildren’s presents,wishing you and G all the best with your house hunting and packing,Thankyou for sharing take care and stay safe 🇳🇿
The BOM you cancelled was Shine on the one with the bee block. I tried to get in on that BOM but was sold out. Bummer. Happy Thanksgiving 🦃 🍁. Enjoy your grandchildren. One of my favorite Christmas movies is The Family Stone with Diane Keaton.
maybe you can now get mine!
In Pennsylvania we have strict liquor laws, but the restaurants are allowed to make drinks to go. The drinks must be placed in the back seat for the ride home.
Please show us your project boxes Anna!!!!👏🏼🤗👏🏼😊👏🏼
We are doing Thanksgiving by ourselves, we are quarantined because my husband tested positive on Wednesday. I will miss my family so much!
We hope to catch White Christmas soon!
I pray he is one of the asymptomatics and both of you remain well🙏
Anna you are so funny! Here in New Orleans Louisiana we can walk around w/ a drink in our hand. We also have drive thru daiquiri shops. So you pull up in your car order and drive away w/ a gallon or a glass of frozen deliciousness. You and G have to come visit one day. Love ya girl
I think so...I read your comment to G and he’s ready for a drive thru
Have fun with your house hunting! I don't envy you searching at this time, but I know, it's always a challenge. I'm in my 11th house right now and I see another in the future. Happy Thanksgiving!!!
you know where I am at...
Definitely here for the babble!!!
Oh wow....Portland. I grew up my teen years in Camas, Wa.... Just across the river. Oh my goodness. After my husband passed, I moved from Camas to Idaho. No quilt shop....ugh...
You need to move! No quilt shop😱
@@quiltroadies1695 cheapest rent right now. I prefer the greener areas. And, your right, no quilt shop right now. It's becoming a dream. But..... I'm happy quilting.
the HOLIDAY!!! one of my favorites!
A project box flip would be awesome. I might have a few of those too!!
Yes! I want to see what’s in your project boxes. 😍 HAPPY THANKSGIVING 🦃🍁🍽
I am so glad i found u! And by the way i love the way u r chatting away u have such a beautiful calmness about u💟! It is very inviting! So glad i found u💟🙏🏻☃️🌲
Thank you so much!!
Love the babble😁
You are so funny thank you. From Switzerland
Do it. That would be fun. Love WIPs. Thanks
Finally watched the rest of this today... so nice to hear from you! I’m feeling a little sad that you’re moving away from Sisters, but I totally understand wanting to be close to grandkids. I was blessed to have my 3 very close by in their growing up years. They are young adults now, and we have 1 great grandson who is 1.5 already. I’ve really missed seeing them; All of the adults in my daughters house work in “essential” services, so they have tons of potential exposure to the virus.... I have a dear friend who lives close by me who is fighting a blood cancer. I have been carefully avoiding exposure to Covid 19, as I take her to medical appts. She and I will be having Thanksgiving together.
Hi Anna I hope you find the perfect house and bee hive really soon. My favorite Christmas movie is , It’s A Wonderful Life, I just love Jimmy Stewart! Take care and You and G have a happy thanksgiving. Xoxo 😘
People are decorating for Christmas early in Portland. I have seen a few trees on top of cars this last weekend. Happy Holidays to you and yours.🦃🙏🎅🤶🦌🎄
We are staying in, have the lake to sit and watch. Or get out on a paddle boat. Have great grands a mile away that visit, cause they home school so they aren’t out in the public.
With so many people moving out of Oregon, California, and Washington you should be able to find a suitable new abode. Patience. Moving is stressful even when it is something you want to do. So be good to yourself and to each other.🙂
Keep praying!
If you haven’t seen “Since You Went Away” with Claudette Colbert and a teen Shirley Temple, it’s a wonderful movie with a Christmas ending! We decided to cross country and go to our winter SoCal desert home. It will be hard to be away this year, but the 2 of us will have our little dinner, and wave to neighbors on our golf cart rides! I hope you have a nice holiday in the midst of your moving chaos. (I’ve been there a few times too🤦🏻♀️ so I feel your pain!). Take care.
Oh thank you for answering a question I had for you! So you will still be maintaining your Sister's address for now! Do you not get mail at your pied a terre in Portland before or after you find your new home? When do you have to be out of your Sister's house? Oh my gosh - that pillow is huge! Looks like it will be a comfy pillow! It is going to be fun to follow you with the monthly adds to it! We put our house lights up yesterday because it was sunny out and NOT WINDY! I cant believe I missed the Live Stitch group! So mad at myself!
I will be getting mail where ever the new place is but I will also get mail in Sisters...gotta be organized. I want Christmas lights!!!
Happy Thanksgiving to you and G! Safe travels
Love to hear your "babbling" haha good luck with your beehive hunt and I would like to see all your projects then I won't feel bad about all of mine lol
Our neighbors started decorating for Christmas right after they took down their Halloween decorations! Way too early for me. At least wait til Thanksgiving is over!
Cute pins
Glad to listen to you, I don’t know the back story of your move but I know it’s nice to be near the Grands. We normally spend half the year in Canada and the other half in Arizona. Normally I miss our family but this year I’m so missing my friends - quilting and otherwise. We Zoom which is great and have been making our own QAL’s. It’s been so much fun to see everyone’s different ideas using the same pattern.
like you I am missing my Arizona peeps...life is a bit more complicated now...but we shall prevail
My favorite Christmas movie is "All Mine To Give" very old, hard to find. The true meaning of love at Christmas.
Omgosh. I loved that movie. I cried through the whole thing. It’s been years since I’ve heard that movie.
Just got my HOME pattern, can’t wait to get started.
Thanksgiving is going to be tough, we were going to TX to see my grandchildren but we are staying homebound and even here at home we will not see family. So just give me a normal day and i will be fine. Lots of floss tube, I am into homesteading videos and Last Homely House.
watch Stitching with the Sisterlies...Cheryl is into homesteading
We’ve had to go cocktails in Kansas since spring. Who wants to get takeout Mexican and not have a Margarita??? I want to see what’s in all or the project boxes. Enquirering minds....Good luck with the packing.
great idea
Have a wonderful Thanksgiving; enjoy your time together and your home. There are only 4 of us in my family and it really hurts to have to cancel, but, I know that we will be together next year. Happy house hunting; I know you will find the perfect fit.
hang in there
