Quilting Time

 I've been working on my nephew's quilt.  I decided to tie the squares in the center section.

  I used embroidery thread of many colors for the ties.  I like how the scraps look in a pile.

 I am now quilting the border.  Threading the needle takes a little longer than it used to!

 Here is what some of the quilting looks like.  It is fun to do swirls and loops and waves.  I will probably add some cursive sleepy words to the quilting.

 I wish I could get the hang of using a thimble.  My poor index finger feels like a pincushion!
