I'm back to quilting again! FINALLY!!! After my stitches came out, I had some complications healing. It just further delayed my stitching, which only further fueled my frustration with the whole bit.
I started out with a bandaid under my thimble and I don't even need that yet. I'm so behind, I'm trying to quilt on it 2 hours at least each day.
My stitches started out big and not at all similar to eachother. Now they are smaller and more consistent. If I have enough time, when I get to the end I'll rip out the stitches in the first couple blocks and redo it.
My finger doesn't look horrible and it's only a little bumpy now. People don't even see it unless they remember the splint on and want to see it. It does look like I wrote a capital T on myself.
And my boys think it's cool I'll have a scar.
