Any Quilting being done?

I haven't been quilting but I've been checking out some of the quilting books to get ideas. Hope others have been getting quilts ready for winter. Barbara in hot Florida

I have at last taken my 'stuff' to continue my version of dear Jane, out of my cupboard. It is now sitting next to my sewing machine; and I am planning to get some sewing done this week. I have only one appointment

- tomorrow morning - then I'll be free to get back to it. No doubt it will be a slow start: I seem to have lost some mental and physical dexterity (age-related no doubt). However, I truly hope it will come back.

I have one quilt on the frame that I=E2=80=99m hand quilting, one quilt = at the longarmers, and I=E2=80=99m piecing a RWB wheelchair lap quilt.

Yesterday, I sandwiched and basted the Hawaiian applique wall quilt that I'm making. I'll hand quilt it. No deadlines on that one. I also have my Christmas tree wall hanging to sandwich, baste, and machine quilt. That one has to get done before Christmas as it will serve as our Christmas tree this year. Last year I had a bad asthma flare-up over Christmas and realized I am probably allergic to Christmas trees so no more real trees for me. This is the tree I'm making:

Very nice I would be proud to hang that on my wall.

Not doing any sewing right now, I have cataracts coming the right one the worse, but they cannot be done until they are ready.

Busy though planning an "Evening at Home" Thursday next week Nov 6th. It is our 60th Diamond wedding anniversary. Hugs Shirley

I've always got something on the cutting table or under the needle. Here's the latest finish:

Don't think I have seen a quilted tree like that design, but I sure do like it with the different shades of green. Barbara in FL

Hello All, I just started a Churn Dash quilt, getting it cut out and still lack one fabric which I intend to get a JoAnn's Fabrics this Monday. It has a paisley stripe design which means I will have to cut the borders lengthwise . Beige background blocks with turquoise Churn Dash and paisley block betwe en and also will use pale yellow sashing. Sandy$
