I’ve had a number of challenges in the past week that go beyond the basic “super busy at holiday time” stuff. My left wrist (and I’m left-handed) started hosting a familiar sharp pain on Wednesday or so last week. I gave it a few days to see if it would heal itself, but alas, the tendinitis meant that I need to put my brace on. Although it’s feeling better after 3 days in the brace now, it’s difficult to rotary cut and press at the proper angle.
On top of that, my regular sewing machine has developed a horrendous squeak. It’s not in the bobbin area so there’s no real oiling I can do that would fix it. Time to send her off to the spa during the exact two weeks I wanted to really finish up some projects since I have off from work. Sigh.
I do have my back-up Featherweight, though, so she’s on my table and working to finish up Step 4 of the Allietare Mystery from Bonnie Hunter. I’m about half done given all the speed bumps I’ve had, and hope to finish them up later on Monday.
Go see other colorways on Bonnie’s blog!
I really like your colors. This block alone almost makes me want to join in on this mystery. … must … resist … more … temptations … many … UFOs … calling …
Those colors look great! And I hope you and your sewing machine both heal quickly!
Above all the ailments, good job on these blocks! Your color combo has high contrast, I can’t wait to see how your quilt will end up being.
Hope your wrist and machine are back in action soon! Love the blues you used in this clue.
Hope your wrist gets better soon, I had problems like that before, totally sucks. Love your colors for the mystery!
pretty, pretty..good luck with your wrist.
Great colors!! I’m cracking up hearing about your chicken fabric!
Before my big machine died, I used to switch between machines as well. Glad to see that yourJanome being in the shop has not slowed you down much.
Gorgeous units, love the colors!
