I've been in the studio most of today, & will be going back when I'm done posting this. I'm working on my friend Margaret's Lone star quilt. It's one of those quilts I always admire, because I'd never piece one myself. I'm having fun quilting it. There are a few threads hanging in the picture, I have since buried them.
I am taking clues from the fabric on how to quilt it. The borders are Patricia Campbell's Fossil fern.
The plain squares are a subtle petroglyph print, so I am making rings of similar figures. I'll background quilt it with a quieter thread in little swirls.
I was afraid I'd be learning all over on Lily, after a good 5 weeks of not using her, but it's been fine. I can't stand for a long time, but my saddle seat stool works good. The knee is doing well. I have to start "lunges" on Tuesday. That thought frightens me a little, but Ginny has never hurt me, & I trust her, so I'm sure it'll be fine.
Oh, & thanks for the warning about the red mushrooms, but not to worry we know they are poisonous, we would never eat them, I just like taking their picture.

Excellent, Deb! I love the lacy leaf pattern you did in the fossil fern.
The petrograph quilting lines were clever, love the fossil fern quilting also.
