Harriet, tell HRH that there is an alternate name for this pattern, Bishop's Fan, which is what the quakers (I think?) called it, not wanting to call it Baptist! And I'm sure you know where the name comes from: ladies sitting in church with their fans in the hot weather!
Yes, I am finding this easy to quilt. I have an area about 18" x 25" all quilted now. And that's just from doing an hour or two in the evenings, so yes it's going fast. Today I am sitting on the other side of the rack as I was out of room with my arm, and that makes me face the sliding glass doors which is letting in a lot of natural light directly on the quilt. Makes the quilting much easier and faster.
Nancy, what are you doing for the eyes, etc. on the puppets? I'm thinking buttons?
And Harriet, been thinking about you - with your quilt studio now outside your house and you inside keeping one eye upon your DDad, I imagine this is making things more difficult for you. Are you finding any sewing time at all?
I have a plan formulated in my head for a lot of sewing. If sanity hasn't struck me by the time the first of the year arrives, I will be busy!
