I know.
I have been absent...but it IS...
Thanksgiving.
whether or not you are participating in the day
I hope you'll take some time
to just be still for a moment and count your blessings
I am thankful for my 'sisters' (see above) who you all know as
quilt show fabric cutters, fabric walkers, register girls
and so much more!
I am thankful for all quilters
for donating quilts all year long
and for digging deep during times like StormSandy
and when I stop for a moment to be thankful,
I will think of all of you
my beyond the reef family of friends
that enjoy the blog, facebook, twitter, pinterest
and quilt shows and quilt lectures and classes
and that shop at our online shop site
I am thankful for you.
please, take just a moment and leave a comment

I am beyond thankful for my wonderful life. Thanksgiving marks the anniversary of my first date with my now husband, and what a terrific 20 years it has been!!
I am thankful for my family, for friends who are also my family. For having a Dad who is 95 and a HALF, and just now needing more help with daily things. I'm thankful for my bloggy friends who teach me new things every day & make me laugh..a LOT.

I am so thankful for my collegues at work!!! Generous, fun, listening and talkative! I have the opportunity to change jobs but I think I'll stay- will miss them too much if I wuit!
I often do a little 'gratitude list' and this month, the month of Thanks I have plenty on that list. Today I am most thankful for my husband of eight years. We've been thru some stuff together and he has my back like no one in my life ever has.
I am thankful for so many things - often it is people from various blogs who make my day. I am thankful for my family who indulge me with my fabric addiction. Love my life and my God!
