A dear friend's Mom has Alzheimers. She still likes to do counted cross-stitch on pre-printed quilts. She is supposed to
only stitch thru the top layer to hide the back. But she is not quite able to do that anymore.

So when she finishes a quilt, her DD brings it to me and I re-quilt it with a nice back to hide the stitches. Then her DD does a binding and gives it back to her Mom.

Mom gives it as a gift to her G-grands. Mom has commented that she is doing fine still since she can XS and still hide the stitches. (She has already forgotten they showed at one time because her DD told her not to worry about it...when she was all done it would look just fine)

A labor of love and happiness for all 3 of us and for the recipient too.

Happy Quilting, Kathy

Well I guess I will get nothing done, I have been home for the past three days on this computer going thru all the QB stuff, can't seem to get off. I have all this stuff planned to make for Christmas, but haven't even started.

Happy Labor Day!!

I'm planning on working on a quilt I'm making for my son's friend who got married last year. The block is called "God's Eye" with lots of pieces but it's a gorgeous block. I'm working in batiks.

I finished up a wallhanging/runner last night and will finish up appliqueing the seeds on to my watermelon quilt and starting another wallhanging/runner cuz it was so fun.

Oh I haven't sewed a round piece yet, but since these are frayeded edges it doesn't have to be perfect. The wash will make them fray nicely and distract from any imperfections.

patchsamkim - Awesome project you're working on. I'm sure it will be deeply appreciated. People do tend to get chilly during chemo etc. You're an angel.

Our LQ group is working on a *paint chip* challenge that's due at our October meeting. I have waffled for the last time. Time to fish or cut bait...lol I'm going to do a little reverse applique' in Americana colors, and try my hand at some beading on it etc.
