This last week I spent a lot of time with my feet up. My toe seems to be doing well, but my foot is still quite swollen. So up the feet go. While they were up I tore the paper off my stars and kites quilt. Doing that reminded me of why I don’t like paper piecing. It’s messy and takes to long to tear all that paper.
My Quilty Hug Sew In is Tuesday so I cut a bunch of half square triangles with my AccuQuilt Go (you can see my processhere.) Next I made up these blocks. I like to have a sample so when someone chooses a project box they know what they will be making.
It is a little tricky to sew with my foot up, but I have practice. Three knee surgeries will do that. I have a little garbage can I put a project box on then I put a quilt on top of that so it’s soft and prop my leg up. Where there’s a will there’s a way. I definitely have the will. So pretty or not I’ve found a way.
Now it’s your turn to share your progress. What have you been moving forward? Link up and let us see.
where there is a will there is a way – one can always do some form of quilting when you are laid up – hope your foot heals soon
I hope you heal quickly. No surgery then? That would be a very good thing.
Oh your poor toe! Jut reading about it makes my toe hurt for you!! Heal fast!!!
Em, you absolutely TOTALLY have the will — you are the poster child of the Strong-Willed Quilter! I hope you're healed and have regained full "powers" soon. (I've been watching way too many superhero movies with my kids lately…)
