The binding is done on “Insanity” !! And now the quilting begins on the scallops. I wish I had thought of this before I took it off of the frame! They did look rather empty. Here are two photos of the beginning of the quilting on the scallops.

And the other photo, this is as far as I have gotten! A way to go still
Today – another great day for November! Hit 71 degrees out here by 11 this morning I had the windows open! how great is that. We worked outside for awhile this morning before Mike left for work. I am continuing on the flower bed digging out plants and replanting in other areas of the yard while Mike is finishing up on the patio section of the deck. Hopefully the work will get done on the deck/patio this weekend – we will see – I think we need to pick up a little more flat pavers (flat brick like rocks) and I need to pick up some more dirt – raised beds here – the soil is so rocky I have too hard of a time to dig in it. I would say if we had a harvest it is rocks!! they pop up out of no where!!
I picked up the paint for the bathroom and this time I made sure to look at the color better than I did the first time for the kitchen. I hope to get started painting in there in the next couple of days. I do not need to do the ceiling and if I use the taller of the two step ladders then I won’t need to reach my arms up over my head therefore not bothering my neck! The tricks we learn to get around medical problems 
I am going to paint really slow and only do one wall at a time a little each day – it doesn’t matter if it takes me a week or more! It will get done.
Now I need to share a link that a internet friend of mine - Joyce from northern Arkansas (she doesn’t have a blog) shared with me – here is a Dear Jane finished – it has a different look to it. Go to this link to see the photo – isn’t it great? This quilt is by Julia in Perth, Western Australia – yes we Dear Jane fanatics are from all over the world!! Julia what a great quilt you made and how original with the applique in the center – I wish I had thought of something like that!
