So glad to see you quilting again. I hand quilt a great deal and I was working on a very important Anniversary Sampler and had to take 6 weeks off when I cut my quilting finger down to the bone and it was out of commission with 20 stitches. This year, I wasn't hand quilting, but I was still wanting to piece and what not and I managed to crush 2 fingers of my quilting hand with a landscaping brick. I had to take quite a hiatus as I couldn't grip my scissors, seam ripper rotary cutter, nothing. That was a few months ago and I'm still working on exercising them.
