This week I’ve been in the quilting room. I was going to do more woodworking but somehow I’ve managed to injure my shoulder and now am on a course of medication and physical therapy. Working at the sewing machine doesn’t hurt as much as the woodshop this week. sigh … oh well two more weeks of PT and we’ll see if it’s fixed.
I showed a picture of my bunny rabbit napkin rings last week, well here some placemats I’m making that the those bunnies might sit on someday:
Here’s a close up of one:
There are eight of these in total, each one a slightly different combination of colors. Right now I’ve only finished the tops. Next step is to square these up and add backing and a layer of batting. Then it’s a bit of quilting. Then I can think about making some napkins and I’ll have interesting table set. Maybe for an Easter dinner table.
That’s it for this week. If you need me, I’ll be at PT.

I too have started stitching a blouse. It is satisfying.

So great that you have another hobby to fall back on when you’re out of commission for one. I hate PT. I’m sorry you have to do that. I hope you heal up quickly and well.
The placemats are looking great. 🙂 Think you’ll finish everything up in time for Easter?

So far it is healing quickly. PT is a bit like going to jail, you sit around and ask the other people there, “so what are you in for? Leg, oh. me? shoulder.” I think I’ll have the placemats done next week — they’re going together faster than I expected. Not so sure about the napkin ring project, that’s going to be close.

Maybe it’s my focus on the Olympics but the mats make me think of the flag of some faraway fictitious country. Very appealing.

Nice colors. I missed the bunny rings. I’ll have to take a look. I haven’t been on WP so much recently.

I have no knowledge of quilting but I think the colors and patterns look nice. Any idea what you did to your shoulder?

I’m not fully sure what I did, but it started with a bit of heavy lifting.

It’s interesting how stuff like that happens, isn’t it? I was down on all fours scrubbing some floors a couple of months ago. Everything was fine and then about 10 days later one of my shoulders started hurting. I’m trying to self-heal but if I read you’ve had a positive PT experience maybe I’ll try that.

I got to the point where ice/heat/rest/advil weren’t working to relieve the pain so PT is the next step. So far it’s been helping. Sadly it’s also an, ‘age’ thing …
