Here in the USA we have concentrated our hands, hearts and minds on Thanksgiving this Thursday. Yesterday my handsome hubby spoke at 2 churches in the morning and then at the local community Thanksgiving service last night. So it was a day of introspection for me. I was thinking of the very long list of things and people for which I am grateful. And then I turned my thoughts to my love of embroidery. And I thought how grateful I am to have this hobby and to to be able to afford it. So I publicly want to thank Miss Veronika and all of my favorite digitizers for their talent and hard work. Without you I could not spend so many happy hours creating. Now what is it that each of you is thankful for in our world of machine embroidery?

First and foremost, the chance to connect to the Creator through re-creating beauty from his world. Secondly, the chance to find like-minded spirits in this group. Lastly, for the rhythm and joy that embroidery brings to my life. Happy Thanksgiving to all.

Well said Karen. We don't celebrate Thanksgiving here in Australia, but I'm thankful every day for all of the wonderful friends I've met and made on here. I pray that everyone has a loving, family oriented Thanksgiving wherever they live in this beautiful world of ours. Love ❤️ Chris

In our world of machine embroidery, I'm most thankful for my like minded friends who make my life so much fuller and my heart so much happier. AND those who are so much smarter than I am that can come up with these wonderful machines and gadgets to make our hobby so much more fun.
