This is the day the Lord has made!
now that wound vac gone and apartment tidied, have been slowly returning to pre-surgery routine....friday went back to quilty group. took some hand work with me but arm rebels after just so long, not much got done. our current project is lap robes for vets' hospice and red/white/blue color scheme requested. i brought home enough to make two...saturday i started the first...
my stash is mostly fat quarters so nothing big enough for needed size of 50x60...this is the center of the first one. and i had done a couple of quilts with panels for them to sell, which they did, so another was flung my way...
this is good size so not much will need to be added...first trim off top and bottom as it's a finished piece...i've enough scrappy on hand for this one. i don't have to quilt them, just bring in tops...
arm still not quite healed....a couple of spots being stubborn....still draining tiny amount so may have to get a bit more aggressive to get this puppy completely healed. discomfort has ramped up quite a bit no doubt due to increased use with freedom from vac. i found using cane for support caused extreme discomfort in the forearm...fingers slowly, very slowly, improving...hoping i can quilt soon...a half day of sewing, household stuff and some baking was the limit...
and another steal from instagram...where i spend way too much time....
Sewing is a good occupational therapy as long as you know when to stop and not overdo it. The panel will work up into a nice quilt though those hearts look like strawberries!
