Just my luck the MRI
showed a fracture right below my left elbow, inflammation and some other big gnarly
medical word – basically meaning my arm is buggered up. Sadly, I don’t meet with the bone doc for a
few more days, so not sure what the plan of action will be. Still in pain when I try to straighten, but I’m
now able to hold down my ruler (with no pain) to use my rotary cutter…..and
really, isn’t that what’s important?!! Once
I was able to cut the final borders for my Carol Doak BOM, I was off and
running to finish my quilt. Just a few months
over-due, but it’s now ready for the quilter.
The Carol Doak BOM
instructions were for a 2 color quilt – saving for AQS Quilt Week in Paducah, I
didn’t want to purchase fabric. I had a
great idea (not looking so great now) to do a scrappy quilt instead. The two-color combo quilts from the rest of the group are stunning, I’m
not so crazy about mine. Maybe I’ll “love
it” after quilting, but not counting on it.
While I couldn’t use
a rotary cutter or push anything through my sewing machine, I could hold an
embroidery hoop. Go figure. These cutesy unfinished pillowcases were
calling my name (and have been for several years!) to complete. Like most everything else I do, I thought I
could whip them up in a weekend – wrong (being slow as slug) after 4 days of
cross-stitching and not completing one case, I tossed them in the closet. 3 years later, I don’t dare say how long it took me to
complete both (I’m sure it was because of my bum arm!), but they are wash,
pressed and ready for the guest bedroom.
