I suppose that technically I could say I've been quilting for at least 30 yrs - I bought my first sewing machine when I was 19 a wonderful top of the range (then) Husqvarna 2000. With it I made many gifts including a quilted purse for one of my sisters.

Since then I spent most of my sewing time making lovely boys clothes for my 3 sons from Dutch magazines - because they had THE BEST childrens clothing patterns.

It is in the past 10 yrs or so that I reconnected with the joy of patchwork and quilting.

After spending an hour or so on the border of a 5yr old WIP for my mother I now find that my left arm is so very sore, tender and inhibited that my night at work was most unpleasant. I think I may have pushed things too far.

Any suggestions for a cure for this type of injury????
