My mom is also 82 years young, and I recently quilted a quilt for her, which she'll be giving to my DD21 for Christmas. I had to take it off the frame and remove part of the side and bottom borders due to waving, then put it back on the frame to finish quilting it. But you know what? I didn't mind a bit! I figure I'm lucky to still have her, and I'm glad she's still healthy enough to quilt. I know it takes extra time to "clean up" after some of our older quilters, but isn't it worth it? :)

Not one thread was cut!!!!! I spent 4-5 hours cleaning it first.Oh, well, I finally got it on the frame and it is really beautiful. I will post a picture but it is without the binding on it. I showed her how to make scallops and she is doing the binding now. When she saw the quilt all quilted, her smile was worth it all!!! Love my Aunt Betty.
