)...so very painful and swollen! Now wearing a wrist brace and prescribed some meds to reduce the swelling and hopefully the pain. I cannot do anything involving my thumb...something as simple as picking up a cup of coffee causes excrutiating pain...! I am going to follow doctors orders for a few weeks in hopes that the pain and inflamation resides. I will continue to follow the board, henpecking the computer keyboard...LOL! Please excuse any typos!!!

You were a great partner!!!!!
I do have a bit of an over-achiever streak and have to be reminded to relax sometimes
I think simple is the key!

Oh wow, those are some incredible quilts! I love all of the details with the lace and embroidery! I think I may have to come up with something, but I'll be following Almond's advice to keep it simple
I love my old Bernina 801, but this is one of those times that a machine with a plethora of stitches would be fun! ....maybe I'll have to swing by my Mom's to play with her toys!

Love the May theme! SOOOOO many ideas running around in my head!
