Finished Flimsies

 I finished the 2 SAHRR projects weeks ago. No not quilted. I didn't add more to the first one but the second I added the last borders of my choice. Again I had leftover pieces that worked perfectly.  I didn't have enough to fill the corners of the last print. I settled on dark blue squares after auditioning many options. I will bind with the dark blue.  I really enjoyed these 2 projects. 



I also did the binding on dds quilt to get it out of here. Hours later she gifted it to a friend. 



Next I hoped to get back to longarming. Its been a few months. It'll be nice to get a few quilted before spring  arrives and I'm outside all day. 

A week ago we had a gorgeous spring day. I went for a walk in the woods across the street. It was the first time in 5 months. So happy to be there. Then I stepped in a hole and rolled my foot . Twice!. Then fell. Rested a bit. It didn't hurt much  since the nerve damage from slipped disk last fall. After I sat a bit I finished my trek to the top only a short distance. Slowly walked home maybe half a mile. Then half an hour later I took off my socks and found  my ankle had swollen. Off to urgent care for a short visit and confirmation that I broke my ankle. Oops.  Rather, Damn! There was a reason I saved the walking boot from the metatarsal break 20 years ago.  Rolled the foot that time too. 


So I didn't get to the longarm like I hoped. Now I hope to sit at the sewing machine soon. I'm pretty tired of the sofa.
