Welcome back. I love the quilting pattern and the fact that it doesn't swamp the quilt. It's all lovely.

Nice quilt, fine quilting. I can sympathize with your long enforced 'vacation from quilting. I broke mine fending off a druggy attacker. (He got the worst of it.) After over 40 years it still impedes me.

I sure hope so. I broke it a year ago on November 25th so I am hoping it feels better soon. I know the cold hurts it and winter is closing in on us. So I will hunker down and quilt more to give the wrist a workout!!

Over the years since I became 40 I have broken both wrists separately and had both in plaster at the same time. Living on my own was a problem at times but I coped. Last year had an operation to remove a bone in the wrist it is now no pain and it doesn't throb at night. After a long time getting back to full mobility has been very time consuming. This site has been very popular.
The problem putting the quilt on the frame was probably the worst part and it just not wanting to move at times. After 6 months of hand sewing my movement is great.

Keep going at the twelve month time to the last operation etc you begin to feel fantastic. Even the pain seems to disappear. Your quilting is great.

I think I got it from www.quiltscomplete.com. It is called Whirly Gig LG.

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. :)
