Sewing at last

Jack is getting better and has been given the green light to resume all activity he wants. My spider bite has gone without lasting results as far as we can see. I have an appointment to have the doctor inject my knees again as the stairs are becoming a challenage again.

We have had beautiful weather albeit windy and I have been able to do a little piecing on my Little B machine. Finished the blocks for a "Fun and Done" star quilt and now have to put them together. Also prepared some large blocks for buttonhole applique. The pattern is Irish Rose from 100 Applique Quilt Patterns by Jan Halgrimson. A very useful book for patterns for applique.

I know we will soon be fishing and I can work on the buttonhole applique and also on my Grandmothers Flower Garden Hexie quilt. So at least I have stuff ready to go when we go. I keep a sewing machine in the motorhome but when out in the boat only hand work will do.
