I managed to get 3 more squares quilted over the last several days. I have the corner triangles to finish by row D and then it will be time to give the quilting frame a crank or two and start on the 5th row #E. This photo shows Row D #13, 12 & 11 left to right.
I have still not made my way through the whole quilt festival list of blogs. I think I have gotten up to about # 240 or something like that. I will be looking at it for days to come.
This pretty little wall hanging was given to me by my Dear Jane Secret Pal. This is a yearly group where we do not know the name
of the person that we receive gifts from until the the end of the year. Once a month we receive a small package with quilting goodies in it from our “Secret Pal”. This month she sent me a small wall hanging. Isn’t this cute. She machine quilted it variegated thread. She always sends too much stuff! She sure can stuff a box there was more than this wall hanging in it.
I have not had time to make any more pineapple blocks. I have worked on “Walking the Primrose Path” quilt a little more and have one border almost completely quilted. I’m almost tempted to not work on this one so I can bring it with me in the motorhome but I know I will have plenty of other quilting things with me to work on if I finish it before we leave. I am bringing two rows of Dear Jane blocks to hand piece for the second Dear Jane quilt that I am working on “Insanity Revisited” I also decided to bring several of the Dutch Treat blocks to work on also. I have not touched that quilt since November. I have 37 blocks completed and thought to do some more so I will have enough to do a wall hanging at least or a couch size quilt. Well decide that later.
Next week will be very busy as I will start to pack the motor home with all my sewing stuff and things I won’t need in the house. I will have more lists going then I will be able to keep straight!! One would think I was going to be gone for several months instead of 3 to 4 weeks 
We had a very nice day yesterday for our drive up to northern Arkansas to see my mom. Lunch at Red Lobster and some shopping at a nice outside mall up there. No time to see any quilting stores or anything. Mom is in a wheelchair and really as most of us know quilting stores are just so crowded and normally small that it is difficult to manuver a wheelchair in them. This is a pet peeve of mine and wish they thought of that kind of stuff. Surely there are a lot of quilters out there or people like me who would like to take an elderly mother with them to see the stores and can’t because they are not handicap assessable.
