PS I forgot to mention the Oregon shaped object...it is a very nice flannel piece mounted on cardboard someone made over a 100 years ago. Then, the house and scenery was penned in
by this very talented person of long ago. I hang it up every year!

Thankfully, I have the distractions of quilting to ease the worries of the day away. I have been doing some of the tedious hand embroidery work on my cherry quilt and I have even followed thru on using all of the fabric and to not be tempted to make it smaller to get it done sooner. Organized 2 quilts for my grand daughter who says she wants to make one. Her and I made a couple together but I will be surprised if she ever starts on these. let alone finish. The night I wanted to go over it with her, she had 2 separate boys drop by and at 15, guess who got her attention.
I only got out my samplers and the quilt with the reindeer is a cheater flannel but really snuggly. Upon moving, I found all the places where I had put the 9 patch squares! I was originally going to make 12 quilts. Two recipients have died, I don't speak to one anymore and one has gone into a rest home. But, I have a lot of Christmas squares put together and have hope again for those with a revised list. The 2 large frames are prints telling the story of woodlands creatures Christmas' party....1920s probably.
