a shot of color for the weekend

1.25 handed free motion quilting and a mistake but what the heck. It's just a book cover for an old book that I reference almost daily. I NEED color today so I tried to make this book cover. Hopefully my orthopedic surgeon will not find out. I am happy and have a sore arm. It would have been way to easy to take a photo of the fabric before I cut it....

There is a bit of wonkiness to the free-motion not really on purpose but kind of endearing (smile). I am happy and two Tylenol will take care of the shoulder.

  2. Wow! I love that fabric, and the free motion quilting looks great! Don't you go overdoing it now... sew now, pay later! But I know you enjoyed it, even with the pain afterward...

  6. So sorry to hear that you broke your arm. These things can be plenty frustrating and painful. [I have experience with metal plates and screws.] The good news is that you will get better! Don't neglect the Physical Therapy.

    It's good to do a little something to keep your spirits up!

  7. What did I say about making sure you took time to rest?? I know, stitching is good for the soul so you need to take care of that too. Wonderful, endearing work.
