Somethings are just better together like turkey and stuffing, mashed potatoes and gravy, rolls and butter. (Clearly, I have Thanksgiving on my mind.)

| TWINS!!! |
Here is my latest finish - two quilts that are just meant to be together. Because they are for twins.

A dear friend is going to be a grandma. She gleefully shared the news and her delight was supreme as she said - TWINS!!!

| Monkey - ready to jump off the edge! |
Since the twins are due by the end of the month, it was absolutely essential for me to drop everything and finish these. Sharing with
Sandra's Dreami Linky.

I am calling them Happy and Lucky. They are different but have several similar fabrics, just like siblings have similar characteristics. So, how can I tell them apart? Happy has orange/black Halloween binding and Lucky has orange binding.

They also have different backings. Happy has a pieced backing, Lucky has a floral backing.
Here are a few more pictures.

I am thrilled with these two finishes. Hope the mom-to-be likes them too.

These are finishes 17 and 18 for this year. I will be happily sharing with all my favorite linky parties. - see the links on the sidebar. I'd be so lucky to hear from you.

There is lots going on in the Sew Preeti Quilts workshop. I am making
sweet pea pods for an upcoming holiday bazar.

Here is a completed flat
Becca bag. This penguins on ice skates fabric screamed my name and I had to not only get it but use it to make something darling.

I first saw this mermaid fabric on Janine's blog -
Quilts from the Little House. I found this at Joann Fabrics and these mermaids happily hopped into my cart. Looks like it will become another Becca bag.

Recently got this 60" wide fabric from Ikea. Wish they had more choices.

I had used this fabric in
Clay's quilt and I absolutely loved working with it. Therefore, I decided to buy the bolt - 12 yards at $4.99 is a steal. What do you think?

I have managed to resist all the pre-Black Friday sales so far. But I will peek on Friday, for sure. I know
Craftsy will have something yummy. I have my eyes on this
Andover Chroma pre-cut.
I missed the wide backing sale on
Connecting Threads last week. And I am resisting their
50% stash builders sale, but if the wide backing is on the Black Friday sale, I'd be sure to buy some.
My sister's family will be here for Thanksgiving. I have lots to do. Cheese and sour cream do not like Paul, my niece is allergic to nuts, and my sister is vegetarian. And I am busy planning, shopping and prepping to please everyone.
Have a safe and a happy Thanksgiving
