2016 Review

I will be taking a computer/blogging break for the next couple of weeks.  It has been a bad year for me health wise and I lost my sewing mojo for a long time. Arthritis has made anything other than knitting difficult :(  I have a pitiful number of finishes this year...

Only one quilt, a gift for my son and his finance

The good news is that my hands are much better and my quilting mojo is back :) I am busy trying to finish My Liberty Quilt and have a lots of hand appliqué prepped, I am hoping to do some stitching over the holidays.


Until 2017 - Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

  2. so glad your hands are better - I have been having trouble with mine to but work through it - some days I have to do more by machine than by hand other days I can do just fine. I guess as we get older it is a fact of life for those of us that have done a lot of hand work over the years. Hope the new year will be great for you

  8. Merry Christmas! I feel your pain -- I have arthritis as well, all over my body. Not fun. But you have still made beautiful things this year!
