As you can see, I decided to go with an all over meander pattern. Maybe someday I will be brave enough to try something different..but not on this one!
On a different note, my RA in my hands is going wild. They haven't hurt this badly in awhile. Not sure if it is all the constant sewing (I wouldn't think that this would be too strenuous!) or if it is the stress or both. I am thinking it is the actual sewing though, because I only have a few tiny aches in other joints. That is one of my 3 biggest fears with the RA...losing the ability to care for my Patrick is the first, not being able to sew and not being able to work in my garden are the other two. So far God has blessed me with 3 years of remission with only the occasional flare ups which is a blessing considering I stopped taking all my meds 2 years ago. Guess I will continue to leave it up to Him..if I am meant to continue sewing and all, He'll take care of it. If not, well then, I am sure He will have something better in store for me!!
Looks good.
ReplyDeletedon't forget to take regular breaks when you are sewing. I take a 10 min break every half hour or so. although I don't use them try the machine quilting gloves. They may take some of the strain off of your hands and wrists.

what a labor of love! Your log cabin turned out Beautiful!!! and like you I do so love them!!! They remind me of being at my grandmother's house where she had one on the bed where we liked to play upstairs. Her's was all scrappy like yours but b/c of the red centers of each block and the red leather chair in that room - we called it the red room LOL :)
ReplyDeleteSorry to hear that you've had some flare ups with your hands.. I hope that is temporary for you. I'm sure that your family that you made the quilt for are gonna love it! ;)
Love from Texas! ~bonnie
Great job Maureen! Looks very nice.
ReplyDeleteIm sad to hear of your aches and pains. You have done a lot lately. Maybe give them a good soak in warm water or rub. Or try the gloves, I tend to tense up my hands when I do this...not like I do it all the time though...

Hey Maureen! Thanks for the mention of my blog! So nice of you to do that. I am so ready for the mystery. Of course, I still have to cut out the fabs but it isn't all that much.
ReplyDeleteYour log cabin quilt is stunning. Your in-laws will love it. (and if they don't I would!!!) But do take care of yourself. Breaks are good. You seem to do so much and if I remember correctly you work full time out of the house. Yikes girl. Do you ever sleep?? Take care of yourself but I love seeing what you do! B.
I LOVE THAT QUILT.....
ReplyDeleteTHE MEANDER PATTERN LOOKS GREAT...I WISH I COULD DO THAT.....
I WILL BE PRAYING FOR YOU...
BLESS YOU FOR MAKING THIS QUILT FOR YOUR INLAWS..THEY ARE GOING TO LOVE IT....
Prayers, Bo
Pace yourself - and here's hoping that you have many many more years of all 3 activities!!!
