Celebrate

I'm not doing much hand sewing and trying to rest my elbow. Driving my manual and changing gears seems to annoy it the most but sewing a few little leaves on doesn't. Whoopee! Vine no. 5 is finished and I'm half way.






and in the garden it's time for the Red Hot Pokers. They really do look fiery and the Honeyeaters swing on each stem as they poke their long beaks in. Just as well we have more than one clump with all the squabbling that goes on among them.

    These things take time to heal Dorothy but it is good that you are managing some stitching. Those vines are looking magnificent.

    Hi, Dorothy ;>)
    I just discovered your lovely blog a few days ago, and I'm so grateful for such an inspiration !
    Your Vines quilt is absolutely gorgeous, Dorothy, and I LOVE your fabric choice for the connecting strips!
    This quilt is among my TO-DO list, (as well as Sue Daley's Antique quilt), yet I'm now planning to start the Auntie Green Coverlet... which means as soon as I can find that pattern for sale, hopefully ;>)
    Hope your elbow will soon get less painful, dear. Keep going, dear !
    Friendly smiles & threads,
    Nadine (Belgium/Spain)

    That is an amazing quilt and such beautiful work.
    I have found that swimming helps my arms since I use them constantly and do get aches from over use.

    I really love your vines quilt. Would you mind sharing
    the colors and or materials you used?
    Not sure if the vines and borders are grays or greens.
    I just downloaded the pattern, can't wait to start.
    Thanks for you help.
