It is DONE!

Quilting is done!!!!!!!!  Its blocked and on the floor drying! I have a band-aid on each hand, one from a scissor injury and the other from a pin.  So maybe I should name this quilt Blood, Sweat, and Tears?  Just got off the phone from a 2 hour conversation with my girlfriend Dee in Pennsylvania during which time I slurped 4 cups of coffee and life is good! 



Thanks to everyone who encouraged me to rest and take care of myself...I did the best I could but was so driven (why? I don't know, but I had to trust the feeling) to complete the quilting that rest wasn't really resting.  I think I'll indulge myself by watching a movie and laying horizontally...anyone seen the movie Dragonfly?  Its billed as a romantic thriller about some guy who is receiving messages from his dead wife via his patients.

  5. Karen, yes...saw that movie a while back. Afterwards I started noticing the dragonfly patterns on my sheets and stuff and it kinda weirded me out. lol. Good movie, though, as I recall.
    Peace,

  7. Looking forward to seeing the quilt. How did you manage to quilt with your hands injured? Dragonfly is a pretty good movie. I liked Kevin Costner in this one.
