Second big thing: A finish! I got this quilted and the applique sewn on last weekend.
The flowers are put on AFTER the quilting and the binding put on. It is supposed to be a little ragged-ended. I thought it brought a little flair to the quilt. (Yet another quilt with the batik left-overs from the Dear Jane)
Third big thing: Another quilt done! A sunset quilt, just with triangles.
And the rest of the yellows to purple fabrics used for the backside. I named it Fractured Rays. Both quilts are gifts, to be given away tomorrow.
Fourth big thing: Two pillows! I really like red and whites. Also gifts.One BAD thing: I started my physio this week, for my right arm. I have had the problem for two decades, overusing the little muscles. The solution has been exercising, which I have done.... except for the last two years. I just crafted, and ignored the signals. It went ok, until I started working again. The added strain on the small muscles by using the computer during the day sent my right arm into a whole world of pain. So, the starting of physio is a good thing, but it is overshadowed by the fact that he BANNED ME FROM CRAFT! for the time being. For an undisclosed amount of time!! I don't know what to do with myself.... all my lovely crafts and ideas lying there waiting to be started!
Whimper.....
Solution so far: Sit on my hands. Will it work? Time will show. One thing is for certain: reading about quilting is no fun at all when I can't quilt!!!
Sigh.
