behind on my november samplers but i am hoping to finish them today and post pictures as well as mail them tomorrow since 2016 will be a busy one i ve got to start knitting i ve decided i will need to

our final month of the swap december posted by linda at 3 46 am 4 comments saturday november 21 2015 vintage image saturday the macy s thanksgiving day parade in nyc another great thanksgiving tradition here are some fun facts first parade was in 1924 the only years there was no parade was 1942 1944 during world war ii the rubber and helium were needed for the war efforts the first large balloon was felix the cat in 1927 the first year the parade was televised was in 1939 snoopy has had the most floats in the parade my personal favorites when i was young the rockettes popeye and of course santa clause for me seeing santa at the end of the parade always meant it was officially christmas season posted by linda at 12 01 am 1 comments friday november 20 2015 this makes me smile i received this sweet october sampler from patty the saying on the top touched my heart the idea that asfas is thought of so fondly and that friendships have resulted from it is something i am so thankful for patty expressed this in her sampler featuring sweet little examples of all the different seasons i am proud to add it to my garland thank you patty speaking of our garlands i am hoping that the participants in this year s mini fabric sampler swap will take a few minutes to photograph their collection of samplers when they have all been received perhaps we can all post these pictures somewhere collectively how fun it would be to view these more on that later have a great weekend posted by linda at 6 52 am 2 comments monday november 16 2015 moving stuff around i am making 2

would be great to create this on a canvas have each person who visits for thanksgiving add a leaf with something they are thankful for written on it to the tree if you go to someone s home for thanksgiving bring the canvas and the leaves and give the finished tree to the hostess the canvas can become part of your yearly thanksgiving decor or you can create a new one each year here is the
