Mom and I spent most of the day working up quilt kits for her. I modified several patterns she was interested in making and we pick out fabrics. We ran to Joann's and found a couple border fabrics and some flannel that she likes to use for backings.
I was looking for a wedge ruler for making fan blocks but we didn't find on at the quilt shop or at Joann's. I have one I could lend her but it's in Minnesota! Luckily, the quilt shop will special order it.
Tonight I sewed the border and binding on the green 16 Patch and Pinwheels, a HeartStrings quilt and a UFO of mine that will donated through my Mom's church at Christmas. If anyone is interested, a brief instruction sheet is posted on my MaryQuilts.com site.
She has her surgery tomorrow and I'm taking my Crazy Doll Quilt to work on while I'm waiting. Thanks for all the good thoughts coming her way.

Good luck to your Mother! Good vibes to her for the op.
How is your mom doing? We are sending good thoughts & big purrs.
Thanks for the tutorial -- the 16-patch and pinwheels is exactly the scrap quilt I'm going to start with my 2" squares/strips. I worked it up in EQ, but I love your green scrappy one.
Hope everything goes well today.
Really love the quilting pattern on your green pinwheel. Our thoughts are with you and your mom.
Hope all goes well and that you get a lot accomplished on your projects.
Some seriously happy thoughts coming your way -- and boy you have been busy!
Best wishes to your mom, and safe travels to you as you wing your way back to God's Country. :-)
I hope your Mom, is going well, and come through her surgery with flying colours.
Hope your mom is doing OK today and sending my well wishes for you both and your family.
