After hand quilting way more than my usual amount, and having not developed calluses yet, my son asked me to play a little guitar for him.Ouch!! Sheesh, boo boo fingers did not like those steel strings.
The wall hanging quilting is finally done and I have an awesome binding picked out. Now to have some time to just put it on there.
We had a nice weekend here. All healthy for once, that's a new one around here. Maybe the dry weather is doing us some good.
Meanwhile, I'm loving:
the fashion of Rick Owens, such cool designs....

you should try New Skin its a liquid band aid , I use it a lot and helps until you form those callouses or when I do a lot of hand applique it helps so you can keep appliquéing without pain from the needle pricks!
ReplyDeleteyou can find it in the bandaid section of the grocery or drug store
comes in a little 1 oz bottle
worth its weight in gold!

ReplyDeleteUnfortuantely I can't make the next scvqa meeting as I have to referee a lacrosse game... maybe next time? It's too bad, I'd love to hear Ann Fahl speak!
I love the hand quilting! How great to use a color that really shows up on your fabric. You do such beautiful and inspiring work!
