Always save room for pie . . .


For those of you who don’t already know - today is Thanksgiving!

The day American people celebrate the Pilgrims first harvest in their new world, or something like that... (Ask Rebecca our Technical Editor, she's American.)

As a treat for Rebecca, we've brought in biscuits, nachos and chocolate covered nuts. Not the traditional Thanksgiving food she's probably used to but we couldn't exactly roast a turkey at work now could we?

Luckily, she's making a Thanksgiving dinner this evening and it sounds delicious: "I'm making pecan and apple pes but we'll also be having turkey, vegetables, mashed potatoes, stuffing and corn bread!"

After thinking about food all morning we've found this gorgeous contemporary
Thanksgiving Pie
by Sue Hillis, and you'll see it's even got a cute fork charm if you look closely enough!

She’s got so much to look at on
her website
, you’re sure to be inspired by her folksy designs. We love her use of text and bright cartoon images, they're lovely!

It’s obviously a bit late to stitch this for Thanksgiving 2009, but perhaps you’ll find some inspiration for a Thanksgiving stitch next year?

PS: Take a look at her blog
too; it’s full of bright and yummy designs... mmm... pie...
