I laid aside my knitting....
..... and picked up my hand quilting....
Some of you may remember this
quilt, and I'm ashamed to say that it had been neglected for a looooong time. But hey, I've done a truck load of other stuff in the mean time! I may get this quilt done in time for Tamsyn's birthday which is in 2 months time, can you believe it? My girl is nearly one year old!!! (and not far from walking either....)
My foot is mending nicely. I went back to the surgeon on Wednesday and he took the plaster 'splint' off the side of my foot, which was wonderful as the thing was really starting to annoy me. Each day it's getting better and better, although I still have to wear that daggy boot and have to walk on the heal of my foot.
Have a great weekend everyone.
It's difficult to decide which is more lovely --- your knitting or your perfect quilting stitches! I envy you of both! Glad your foot is healing; you'll be kicking up your heels before long! ---"Love"
ReplyDeleteTwo more things: I can't believe your little one is nearing a year old, yet I know it's true. I just now looked through your photos; you've made so many cute things for her! She's a lucky little girl! ---"Love"
ReplyDeleteI remember that quilt. Your quilting is lovely. What are you knitting in that gorgeous shade of yarn? I'm glad the foot is on the mend, I'm sure you're looking forward to be back to 100% walking freedom again. -Joanne
ReplyDeleteGood to hear you foot is on the mend Jen...Look forward to seeing your quilt finished. And yes how quickly that first year goes♥x
ReplyDeleteA year already ????? gosh scary isnt it, then again Rachel is 7 this year!!! thats gone quick! Prompted by you I have made myself a Drs appointment.......xxxx
ReplyDeleteOhh I love love love that beautiful quilt! I'm glad to hear your foot's feeling better. I can't believe she's almost one year! What will you do for her party? :) Christine
ReplyDeleteYou started my day off beautifully, but way off schedule. Your yarn is luscious and I am envious of your quilting stitches. Then I went thru your pictures and you have some wonderful shots. Tamsyn is such a cutie--she is getting to be a big girl! Bet the foot feels a lot better; just be patient a little longer and it will be healed. Mary
ReplyDeletethe quilt looks gorgeous, so does that knitting!! so glad you are on the mend xx
ReplyDeleteGorgeous coloured wool Jen! I am in awe of your neat even stitches - my attempts at handquilting were less than successful. This is a really nice quilt, Jen. My word, the wee one will be one! Where did the time go? Pleased also, to read that your foot is on the mend. Take care, Ann :-)
ReplyDeleteI've just been reading about your poor foot , recover well and quickly !
ReplyDeleteHoly heck, the time whizzing by thing is bordering on ridiculous these days. Nothing like a birthday deadline for pulling out the stops (I bet you'll be so glad you did)...
ReplyDeleteBeautiful work. Hope you are continuing to heal up and feel better... and almost a year already?!? How did that happen so fast?!
ReplyDeleteOh Jen,
ReplyDeleteI decided to walk among the friends online today. So sorry to hear about your injury. All my best to you. Can't believe your beautiful little one will be a year old. Get well soon my friend.
