Sunday was another rainy day here. Went to church and came home. Fixed a big breakfast for me and hubby.

Went down to basement where my studio is. I have just finished piecing a donation quilt and thought I would attempt to FMQ it. I have practiced on small blocks, but never a quilt. I have a Baby Loc Quilter's Dream machine.

Started some meandering in the background and was having a great time. It looked fairly good for a beginner.

Before I knew it it was time for dinner, and my husband came down and said,if you want to keep sewing, I could go and pick up some Chinese for us.

Great idea! So I kept sewing.

Well, I just about finished the background and felt pretty good about it.

Problem is - now, two days later, my eyes are killing me! Haven't been able to sew at all. Didn't realize it was going to be such a strain on them. I think I now have to make an appt. with the eye doc. Probably need stronger glasses.

Has anyone else noticed a change in their eyesight since they started quilting?

This is really a bummer.

Guess I will just have to clean house for a while!
