Thank you all for your comments on the homeless quilts and related situation. I can see that I am not likely to be able to finish all the quilts for both boys' shelters by Christmas. My quilting partner is overwhelmed with her job and family obligations, wants to continue, and hasn't much time. I've spent close to 300 hours on these since September but it is not enough. You are right that I am tired and, especially after many fmq problems on the boys'quilts this week, might have to put this aside for a bit. My best machine for fmq is misbehaving. On the other hand, I've often felt like this in December, when many quilts are close to being done. That final push is hard! I have five basted to be quilted now and more ready to sandwich. And I do need to put on my oxygen mask and get some rest myself. Thank you for your comments and appreciation.
