I'm writing this on Wednesday evening so as to leave my own Thanksgiving Day pretty much media - free as I step away to enjoy our very small community Thanksgiving.
There are just the two of us here at home - Jason is in Oregon, Jeff and his family are sharing their holiday with Ashlyn's family this year.
My house is full of the delicious aroma of pies baking. Or should I just call it custard?
The Hubster is not only gluten free, but has never liked pie crust and tends to leave it sitting there filling-less on his plate. So why bother?
We just skip the crust and get to the good stuff, with a big helping of whipped cream on top.
There are still a few tweaks to be made for Friday's Part One release of our Indigo Way Mystery.
There are still a few tweaks to be made for Friday's Part One release of our Indigo Way Mystery.
In order to keep that post a bit more streamlined, I'm writing this post tonight so I can just link back to it and not take up more screen space with Part One.
What's so funny is that I, too, get tired of all of the commercialism of the holidays, yet there are things I am excited to find on sale and love a good bargain as much as everyone else.
"They're shoving it down our throats!" folks yell when Christmas decor starts appearing right after 4th of July - but then they are the first ones in line to get the Black Friday 2am deal of the century. LOL!

Starting Friday and good through Monday:
My friend Debbie first told me about the incredible gel pad she had received – raving about how she could sew for hours on end with no hip or back issues -
I sew with a SewPad at the sewing machine. I have one on my desk chair.
All of the dining room chairs at Quiltville Inn have a SewPad for comfortable seating for retreat guests.
SewPad™ is filled with a thick cushion of proprietary viscoelastic polymer gel– the same stuff used in surgical mats and wheelchair pads.
Unlike foam (memory foam or otherwise) gel doesn’t bottom-out and it provides comfort and support by diffusing and distributing pressure.
Upholstered in a plush layer of AirFlex™ fabric, SewPad™ helps your backside stay cool while the no-slip bottom keeps it from sliding around in your chair.
This thing is thick and heavy!
In fact, I plopped it right down on my postal scale because I was curious – and it weighs in at 4 1/2 lbs of ultimate seating comfort!
The back side is grippy for no slippy!
Right on top of my sewing chair it goes.
SewPad™ was designed for quilters and crafters, but we think you’ll find other uses as well.
Church. Stadium seats, in the car and anywhere else that you might expect to be sitting for a good while.
Being comfortable is a wonderful thing!
So here's the good part.
The COUPON CODE for FREE SHIPPING within the USA is THANKFUL. Be sure to use the code to receive free shipping.
Starting Monday:
Let's keep building up the holiday spirit with an IronEZ Gift-Away!
We haven't done this in a while, and when Scott, the CEO of IronEZ contacted me this past week - I replied with a resounding YES!
Not only will we be giving away 3 IronEZ spray bottle & holder sets, but there will be a discount code for saving 15%. Great for gifts - stay tuned for Saturday's post for more info.
Also Starting MONDAY:
Yes! Not only are the folks at Sew Q Laser giving us a discount coupon so you can save - I'll be giving away TWO Sew Q Laser kits to two lucky readers.
I love this for doing things things like joining strips on the diagonal for binding or borders.
Yes, you can mark your 1/4'' seam - as scant as you need it to be - with infinite adjustments for whatever seam allowance you need.
More on that, as i said - coming up MONDAY.
It's a lot. It's a lot to keep track of! And now you know what we are looking forward to over the next several days.
But of course:
This happens Friday, 11/24/23!
I hope you are ready for some scrappy fun ahead.
No need to be up super early and pacing the floor - I plan to post each mystery part around 9am Eastern. Get some breakfast. And maybe a shower. Or just sleep in a bit. You'll need that energy to sew!
Quiltville Quote of the Day -
Happy Thanksgiving from my family to yours!

Happy Thanksgiving Bonnie and Dave! Thank You for everything you do for us and the quilting community! I really look forward to this time of year and your new mystery each Thanksgiving Weekend! Bless You, Always! I Like eating pumpkin custard too. If I have extra, I put it in little pans to eat separately. Tonight, I mad " An Amazing/Impossible Coconut Cream Pie to take for donner at the Community Church tomorrow. The community gets together every Christmas. The Church and The Mercantile next door provide and prepare the Turkey's and Hams. The community brings the rest of the dishes. We sign up to bring different stuff or some bring what they want, or nothing. It is a time to commune and visit with friends and the community. Enjoy Your Day with the Hubster!
