W.I.P. 10-10-2013

Finally got all of the blocks finished for Forget Me Not (2012 BoM by Esther Aliu).   Now to decide upon frame and sashing materials.

 This was my original Peony block.  While I love the picture it doesn't really fit with all of the others.  This is the only block where I used fabric paint.  So this one got redone for the quilt and will be used as a solitary wallhanging.

This is the second Peony block pre-outlining.  I used colored thread to stitch the Peony pieces down.

Here it is with the outlining done.

W.I.P. 10-2-2013

Got another FMN block done.

Didn't get much of anything else done this week.  I lost the use of my right arm for a few days again.  Hopefully the swelling stays down or it will get wrapped again.

W.I.P. 9-25-2-2013

Sorry I haven't been around much.  Have been dealing with issues in real life.  Per usual for me it has been one thing after another.

Forget me Not - I have 2 more blocks completed.  About half way through another and the last one I am totally redoing.

Again the first picture is without any stitching except for french knots the second one is with a basic back stitch outline.   The Magnolia 2 just might be my over all favorite.

Witches in Stitches "Boo-tique" is quilted just waiting for the binding and buttons and some hand tacking as I refuse to quilt over top of my hand embroidery.  Will show pictures of them as I get them done.  Am trying real hard not to start another project until I get some of these finished.

Still waiting to be quilted.

W.I.P. 9-11-2013

Got a little work done.

Here are 2 more blocks stitched for Forget Me Not 2012 BoM from Esther Aliu.  First pictures are before adding stitching the second ones are after the stitching.  Have 4 more of the blocks to do then can finally get this one pieced together.

Just started doing the quilting on Witches in Stitches "Boo-tique".  Can only do a few minutes at a time but each day my arm is getting stronger and therefore can do more.

W.I.P. 8-28-2013

Been taking it pretty easy but have done a little stitching.

 Forget Me Not before and after adding some stitching.  Now have 6 of the blocks done and 6 more to do the stitching on.

I'm Back Part 2

This has been a long and difficult last year.  For the second time I have gotten the doctors okay to start using my right arm again.  Last time an infection flared up which led to another surgery.  This time I will be taking it easy and slowly working the muscles back up.  Between the surgeries and lack of use it will take awhile to have it back to full strength.  Other than that I feel great.  So I hope to start having something to show you on Wednesdays again.

Another 4 weeks

Not supposed to use my right arm for 4 weeks again.  Will pay for this little bit of typing in about half hour too.

For those that are going through similar issues don't get freaked out by my bad luck.  The radiation made my tissue more susceptible to infection.  The infection did not want to clear up so they went back in on Thurday and physically cleaned the inside up.  They removed the implant cleaned it up then replaced it.  So you won't hear from me for about 4 weeks.
