This is another quilt I did way back before I broke my
ankle. This is made by Carol and I love
the design.
This is my favourite block. The mother kangaroo’s expression seems so tolerant with her
pouch stuffed full of presents.
Nearly two weeks ago I went back to the hospital for more
x-rays, the cast came off, and I have graduated to a boot. I get to wear this lovely fashion accessory
for six weeks as I learn to take weight through my ankle again. I am now ‘furniture walking’ i.e. hobbling
between pieces of furniture, and using a cane.
This is lot better than crutches as it gives me a free hand to carry
things.
I am slowly catching up with the allover bookings, and many of my
wonderful customers have allowed me to postpone their custom bookings
until after Christmas. I am still
quilting sitting down, it is slower, but I have worked out a routine that
helps.
I am learning patience........
Desley, enjoy the break (no pun intended) and get tons of reading done, guilt free! By the way, I saw the lovely Janette Samson pastel pink quilt at AMQF. It is so lovely!
ReplyDeleteI am glad to read that you have graduated to this boot. It has been a long journey but at least the end is in sight.

ReplyDeleteGlad you are back quilting! Hope you ankle heals quickly.
ReplyDeleteThe quilting is nice on this applique quilt. Love the applique designs-Kangaroos not a common sight on quilts here in America. ;-) The boot however looks the same as the one I had to wear. Keep healing!
ReplyDeleteVery sweet quilting on this one. Love how the applique pops around your quilting. I hope you heal fast and are able to enjoy your holiday season.
ReplyDeleteCute, cute, cute. Patience is difficult, and sometimes we have no choice in the matter. I am glad you are healing, and hopefully the worst is behind you.
ReplyDeletebless your poor ankle! This quilt is too terribly cute. :D
ReplyDeletePoor you! A broken ankle is no fun. Sending healing thoughts your way.
ReplyDeleteHave a great day.
Always, Queenie
Cute quilt! Hope you recover soon, so you don't need to be doing the quilting like this, I guess it's hard on your neck and shoulders sitting down while quilting.
ReplyDeleteWhat a really fun quilt! So glad to hear you have upgraded to a boot. So glad we live in a time period where our boo boos can be repaired.
ReplyDeleteLove the wallhanging! Where can I get the pattern? Haven't ever seen that one! Very cute!
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun and adorable quilt!
