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

Could it be that perhaps you just need better lighting? I hope its an easy fix, especially as you were enjoying yourself.
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!
