JeanieG, I failed to notice the whole quilt you have finished and it is a real gem! Guess most of us old gals have slowed down and not keeping up but I do admire what you have done. I have not finished a quilt in the last four or five years, due to many things along with age...the desire to 'do', husband's anti-comments, etc., so not finishing any thing. Need to finish about 20 UFOs and use up a big stash of fabric. Maybe this winter.

I understand JeanieG. That will be a big quilt, but one can stop where they want to for their own sizing on the quilt.
Yes, I am a Bonnie Hunter fan too. I admire her and all she does and makes up those Mystery Quilts every year. Yes, I am copying down her directions as she releases them, but not planning on making this year's as I have not finished last year's Mystery Quilt. I may order the Quiltmaker magazine that she writes for, just to see what she is featuring each month of the four month long subscription. Scraps is not really my thing, the bigger the pieces are, the less sewing to do to complete the quilt!
Praying for more winter days when I can see and my head is not hurting so bad that I can get into my Quilt Room and sew and sew and sew. That would be great. Happy Thanksgiving to all, happy this year that we will have two, one for his cousins an another with his brother. Fun, fun, and fun.
Our loved ex-neighbors from Texas adopted daughter and husband are expecting their first baby (boy) in March. More fun thinking about a baby quilt! My first quilt to her was on her sixth birthday and she still has it. A single bed size divided into thirds, the upper was the sky, middle was a 'pink' corral with six horses in it, with a pink hat and boots with her name on it, and the lower third was beside the still waters and grass. The sky was window panels that God looked out of to bless her. Memories that brings back.

Glad you are still plugging along QNS! I am sorry you are having problems with your head! Is it your eyes, or are you having headaches? Hope you can find out the cause and get it remedied. I have absolutely no patience with illness, I want to be well NOW!!!
I have another quilt I am ready to sandwich, and have not worked on the Medallian quilt in a few weeks.
We are going on a three day RV trip with our RV Group starting tomorrow, then heading to Phoenix to visit with my son and granddaughter for a week.
We found out our friends that live in Idaho are coming for two weeks the Sunday after we get back from Phoenix (right before Thanksgiving). We could not make the trip to visit them the last two years, so we are so excited that they are flying here for a visit! Can't wait for them to visit!!! They are the type of friends that it seems like you just saw them last week once we get together!!!
Have a great Thanksgiving!!!

That all sounds like so much fun! Enjoy your camping trip and guests for Thanksgiving. My blood grandmother was Rose Mae Harper ( one of fourteen) had a sister (Myrtle) who rode the train into Idaho in 1900 and married Charles Adamson. They were blessed with many children, and their children, so there are more than 100 in Idaho that are related to me. Shirley Johnson lives in Lewiston and hosted a get-together for great granddaughters of Clarissa America Harper in the summer of 2004, so I got to meet a few. One from Clarksville, WA across the Colombia River from Lewiston, Idaho. That is a fun trip.
My head cannot stand 'noise' and I suffer from allergies so much, my Dr. has me taking a Benadryl Allergy Plus Congestion every night before bedtime. Eyes are both affected by Optic nerve problems, left is blind and the right one sees 90% on good days. I have no depth perception and get dizzy when I try to drive on Missouri Highways. So dh drives, but he has problems seeing also, so we go day by day on independent living. Getting old isn't always roses, but we are blessed to still be able live independently at our age.

QNS - Hopefully you will have more "good" days than bad!! My allergies have been acting up too. I take a Allertec most days lately. My husband had Adult Onset Asma. He has been taking allergy shots for quite a while now. They helped him a lot.
Got all the frozen food to put in the RV, then I am mostly done. I have to take so much more food when we go to Phoenix, as my son loves my cooking, and I love to cook for him and Molley!
