Last minute project

This "Be Attitudes" quilt top has been ready for quilting for a while.  (Art to Heart book by Nancy Halvorsen)  I'm hoping for a last minute finish before Christmas.  The maker of the top seldom reads this blog, so there's little danger of spoiling a surprise. 

The quilting won't take very long.  Many of the figures are rather stiff, where 2 or 3 fabric layers overlap, and I'm planning minimal quilting around them, just to hold the layers together.  I know she used a reliable, lighter weight fusible product, and I'm surprised how stiff it got.  If I at least get the quilting done, we can add the final touches later.  I'm not sure if she wants a hanging pocket at the top.  I forgot to ask (or maybe I just didn't listen.)

Not much quilting done in the last two weeks--actually, no quilting done in the last two weeks.  Husband's recovery from his knee replacement surgery is going OK, slowly but steadily.  As co-inhabitants of the bottom floor of our split level, he's often watching TV shows that I don't care to listen to.  And I've been hesitant to go "vroom vroom" with my sewing machine, as that will make TV listening difficult, and up goes the volume.

Solution -- and Merry Christmas to both of us -- wireless headphones.  Quite a few choices available locally.
I bought a pair today, and so far, they're working fine.  Comfort, clarity, and the picture and sound are synchronized.   But I know where the receipt is, just in case.  (Pardon the dark photo;  took it without DH knowing what I was doing.)
