This is the latest under the needle on the quilting machine. After doing the first of it I discovered that I need a lot more practice on outline and echo quilting. Well this quilt will give it to me. This top was given to Ambrosina by Rose, it was given to Rose by a friend who's mother was going into a nursing home. It is very old and made out of feed sacks. There are a couple of small stains and a couple of holes that I am being very careful to outline to stabilize them.

I am having a little trouble sewing this morning, my right hand keeps going to sleep, so because I also have a headache, I decided to just come down here and do some hand sewing that won't tax either in any way. I am making pretty good progress on the latest hexagon top, and I wanted an excuse to work on it anyway. I don't suppose I really need it, but, sometimes I have trouble doing something just because I want to. This was drummed into me from childhood, that anything that was fun was a sin, and sometimes it comes out in the oddest ways. Water under the bridge, be positive, look to thefuture not the past.
