A Blessed Thanksgiving

Wishing you a Happy Thanksgiving filled with blessings!

I have two new finishes to share:

"Gobble Gob"

by Plum Street Samplers

These turkeys just make me smile!

"Bountiful"

by Pineberry Lane

2018 Quaint Country Ladies Club

for Dyeing to Stitch

Here are some vignettes that I shared on Instagram & Facebook:

a collection of vintage salt and pepper shakers

vintage Gurley candles

a favorite over one Cross Eyed Cricket piece from 1999

Another oldie but goodie over one

and a Maggie Bonanomi class project from years ago...

and I finished this sweet freebie from Stone Street Stitchworks!

It was charted for DMC, but I converted it to fancy floss.

I guess it will have to be fully finished for next Thanksgiving.

Happy Thanksgiving from here on Winding Vine to each of you!

Enter his gates with thanksgiving

    and his courts with praise;

    give thanks to him and praise his name.

For the Lord is good and his love endures forever;

    his faithfulness continues through all generations.

~Psalm 100:4-5

A Happy Thanksgiving!

Wishing you and yours a very Happy Thanksgiving!

"Autumn Fowl"

by Rebekah L. Smith

As soon as I saw this, I knew that I had to stitch it immediately! 

Lucky for me, it is available as a pdf and I could start stitching immediately.

You can find Rebekah's website here.

"Thanks"

by Lori Brechlin of Notforgotten Farm

I stitched this piece several years back. It was part of a pattern from her club. I never fully finished it, so I finally did this year. :)

While these two were finished in the nick of time, there were a few that didn't quite make it... 

"Grateful, Thankful, Blessed"

by With Thy Needle and Thread

after midnight, this one will be put away until next fall when stitching will resume.

and unfortunately

"Gobble Gob"

by Plum Street Samplers

will join it. I think that I was distracted by so many wonderful Thanksgiving designs!

Today we had much to be thankful for.

Mom has moved into a lovely home 30 minutes away rather than 3 hours.

She hosted her first holiday in her new home and our family is thankful that we were all together giving thanks that she is still in remission. 

Mom has been busy stitching and I really need to post a new edition of Pennies from Heaven - as soon as we have some good lighting for picture taking.

While we are grateful for all that we have, I do have a request.

My sister-in-law, Joy, has had a set back and will be going through chemo for the next six months.

Prayers and positive thoughts are greatly appreciated!

I hope that you are having a Happy Thanksgiving filled with blessings.

Enter his gates with thanksgiving and his courts with praise. 

Thank him and bless his name, for the Lord is good and his gracious love stands forever. 

His faithfulness remains from generation to generation

Wishing a Happy Thanksgiving filled with blessings to each of you!

God has blessed me more than I could have ever imagined.

I am so thankful to him for each and every one of those blessings:

 family, friends, home, career... the list can go on and on.

And I am thankful for each of you that continue to read my little blog. 

"Bittersweet" by Annie Beez Folk Art

A finish to remind me how thankful I am for the Bittersweet Stitching Sisters.

Although we wish that we lived closer together, 

we are thankful that we are able to spend a week together each year.

It was a fun and quick stitch.

Accented with some ric rac and antique bone buttons.

Enjoy your day with family and friends, parades and football.

Enter his gates with thanksgiving

    and his courts with praise;

    give thanks to him and praise his name.

For the Lord is good and his love endures forever;

    his faithfulness continues through all generations.

A Happy Thanksgiving!

 

The baking is done.

 

Next up is cooking a traditional meal for family.

 



 

My favorite holiday is here!

 

 

I love Thanksgiving!

 

I have so many things to be thankful for!

 



Including my blogging friends who inspire me so.

 



 

Thank you to all those that leave comments or send emails - they really mean a lot to me!

 

 

"Primitive Autumn Cabin"

design by Contry Rustic Primitives

 

I'm thankful for one last autumn finish.

 

"And whatever you do, whether in word or deed, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him."

~Colossians 3:17

Ever Thankful

"Let Us Be Truly Thankful"

Heartstring Samplery

I have so much to be thankful for...

God has blessed me with a life more beautiful than I could have ever imagined.

I'd love to make a list, but wouldn't even know where to begin and where to end.

"Bountiful Blessings"

Country Rustic Primitives

I'm thankful for all the kindred spirits that I have met through this blog and TDIPT Mercantile.

Life is so much more fun when you are sharing it!

Tuesday night was our United Methodist Women's Circle meeting. Lois served these sweet little acorns with her other treats. I was mesmerized! At 10:30 pm on my way home, I stopped at the grocery store picked up some Nutter Butter Bites, Hershey Kisses (milk & dark) and mini chocolate chips and whipped up a batch to take to Thanksgiving Dinner :)

Wishing you a Heartfelt Thanksgiving with an abundance of blessings!

"Shout for joy to the LORD, all the earth.
Worship the LORD with gladness;
come before him with joyful songs.
Know that the LORD is God.
It is he who made us, and we are his;
we are his people, the sheep of his pasture.

Enter his gates with thanksgiving
and his courts with praise;
give thanks to him and praise his name.
For the LORD is good and his love endures forever;
his faithfulness continues through all generations."

~Psalm 100

Too Many Turkeys?

Can a person have too many turkeys?

I think not.

I love turkeys, one of my favorite birds.

I do think that it is a little odd that I decorate with what I eat on the holiday, but they are so beautiful...

Obviously in my house Christmas doesn't go up until after Thanksgiving so that I can enjoy my turkeys to the utmost, before being packed away for another year.


Each year I add one to my collection - this year a wonderful redware piece by SJ Pottery.

I think that turkeys evoke an autumnal, homey feel ~ don't you?

I also had to share my favorite cd for the season.

This is the soundtrack of my life for the month of November.

I listen to it over and over and over and over...

I think that I drive the rest of the house nuts, but I find it truly relaxing.

Wishing you and your family a Wonderful Thanksgiving filled with family, friends and gratitude to our ever generous and merciful God.

Blessings, Patti
