What's (finally) in the hoop?
Cherry Baskets
I'm big stitch hand quilting with red perle cotton.
I need to decide on a motif to quilt in that half circle area inside the basket handle. I'll decide after all the rest of the quilting is finished and just think about it until then. I need to dig out my quilting stencils and see if there's anything in those I can use.
And sew on...

CELEBRATE! (my word of the year)
Nov 21 - Received another seed order. A lot of the seeds are for my new goth/moonlight garden but with a few veggies thrown in. And I received a free packet of mixed lettuces.
Nov. 22 - Received a surprise box of scraps from Jeanie B! Oh, joy! They are sorted and quilts designated!
Nov. 23 - Received a box of scraps and other goodies from Donna! Wooohoo! Again they are all sorted and quilts designated!
Nov. 24 - Recovering from shingles and feeling a lot better! My eye was swollen shut, I had a horrible headache, and swollen lymph nodes as well as buring pain and rash on half my face from ear on up over scalp. I never take naps but was so tired I would wake up for an hour and mosey around and then go take another nap. Today my eye is open, headache is gone and lymph nodes are not as swollen; however, I am pretty crusty looking now from my ear through scalp. This too shall pass but right now I'm not really a sight to behold!
Nov. 25 - Seed Saver's Exchange! They are located in Iowa where I live. I received today their 25th Anniversary 2025 Seed Catalog. I've been ordering from them for years starting in the old days when nothing was ordered on the internet. I used to be a member long ago and was able to get seeds cheaper than non members and seed varieties not available to non members in exchange for membership fee and some of my saved seeds sent to seed bank.
NOTE!
This is a Google blog. I noticed a few weeks ago that Google was making some revisions to the way comments on blogs work. I used to get notice of your comment and it would come to my email along with your email address if you had it marked public on your google profile. Then I could reply via email. Now I get notification via email; however, I don't get your email addy anymore. If you have replied in the past I have now put you in my contacts so I can still reply via email. If you are an anonymous commenter then I will start replying to you on the blog. I think Google wants all comments and replies to stay on their servers. (What happens on Google stays on Google?)
I have a Google Pixel 8 phone. At around the same time as this comment thing was happening my phone told me I needed to change to a new messaging ap.
I am not a Facebook member; however, I used to be able to go visit most public Facebook pages. I had a winter sowing one I liked to visit from time to time. Well, about the same time those Google things were happening public Facebook pages stopped being available to me the non-member.
So, I think these are all moves toward Artificial Intelligence. Big Tech (Brother) is watching me! Or trying to watch me! Not sure I like that.

I think your cherry baskets are so adorable--love that ric-rac trim for the handles...So far, i am not a fan of AI either--too intrusive I feel..
Feel better soon--hugs, Julierose
I have gotten so tired of changes to so many programs on computers and phones - and they want so much of your information now too. Last week I had the trouble with the internet and my mail finally now all is back to normal - I hope your issues will be straightened out as well. Glad you are recovering from the shingles
This is a very lovely quilt to work on . I wish you a productive week and I hope you feel better. Hugs.
I'm so glad your Shingles is subsiding and you're in recovery. AND I'm glad your vision wasn't attacked. I know folks have gone blind from eye shingles (I didn't say it earlier and am so relieved for you).
LOVE that you're handquilting your baskets :-)
Happy Thanksgiving to you Cathy.
What a relief to have the shingles gone (well on their way, at least). The rick rack handles are such fun! And obviously you are going to seed. LOL. Happy Thanksgiving to you and John.
shingles are a miserable, awful thing ... i've been vaccinated and hope to never ever have to experience them ... my sister's case was like yours ... the eXMan had shingles stretched across his side ... oldest daughter was miserable, too ... heal!
Ooooh! So pretty in red. I am excited to see the finish. You always have such good ideas. I have been wanting to do some big stitching. I like the look. I am so glad to hear that you are feeling better. That was terrible. You still got a lot done. Before I comment, I always make sure that it reads Comment as: Pamela Arbour. Sometimes, it says anonymous and I just hit the down button to get to my name. I don't know why it pops up as anonymous sometimes.
