oh that is not a fun surgery buddy's mom! I wonder where that knee went too? you have to keep a leash on those things I think as mine took off on me years ago several times!
when I bind I can do about 2 to 3 hours of hand stitching then the old finger cramps kick in. Suddenly what my fingers go from just being short and stubby to.. CLAWS! like some magic act happens and they just contort into amazingly different shapes that I have to pull and stretch out to turn them back into stubby fingers! but anytime I try to machine stitch my binding down it looks fine on one side and goes on and off on the other. I hate that so its back to being the claw for me. ps love the sneak peak. all those quilted flowers how pretty can't wait to see the entire quilt.
