They have a very good "activities" dept and staff, but currently no "quilting club." She doesn't have an iron, but the staff will help her out with ironing the binding when she's finished.

Hey MsYooper32...they said on the radio the other day 60 is the 'new middle age', besides you're as old as you feel....has nothing to do with chronological age. I intend to be as active as I can right 'til whenever 'the end' may be. Not much point otherwise. PS may I ask you post the picture of your project, I am not familar with the LC Christian Cross.

Kudos to her. There's a 91yo lady in my quilt group who can still crank out a quilt or 2 a month for local charities (usually baby-size and she SIDs them herself). She's great at hand sewing the bindings too. MsYooper32, you are 83 years young. I hope you keep going for a long time.

You go girl, and remember age is only a number, it is the health that makes it harder for some than others, but your doing great so keep up the good work. You sound like a great lady and keep up the good work.

Then there's the one she wants to finish up that's embroidered blocks she received years ago from her aunt.
I know she's going to be tickled pink to hear these responses. I don't want her to feel overwhelmed with too much to do either. And, then there's the limited storage in a nursing home room.
But, thank you, and I promise I will ask her if it would be okay.
