I have a map of the world with 40 to 60 (I need to count them) "animals" that all need to be appliqued down. Oooo, even the continents... almost forgot them. It is a special request from my 14 year old grandson who is going to South Africa for a year. He helped me place the animals (I took the tucan out of greenland and a few other changes) but now EVERYTHING needs to be sewn down. It's all in place via light weight fusible.
In the meantime I've got 5 days left to finish two girl quilts before we go and visit. Mama is sick and the girls are a bit scared, I think. They need my "magic" quilts, which make one feel better because they are loaded with love.
