Confession time! Remember that fall I took when I was racing to the homespun yarn booth at the Troy, NY Farmer’s Market? Oops! I re-injured my elbow and lower back. This has put a bit of a damper on how many hours I can be creative and work in a given day. Bummer!
Thus said, here is what I am working on, quilting wise. First up is a new slash therapy quilt in a different color scheme. Here is a part of my quilt-in-progress:
I also have made some progress on Nancy’s quilt. Here is the first border:
In case you are curious, the lovely floral part of the border design is a stencil by Hari Walner. I have added some freehand “a la Carla” to complete the space and give it some visual punch!
Tomorrow, I get to babysit Jack, I can’t wait to spend some quality time with him! Here he was last weekend, tolerating his stroller:
Keep watching to see my progress! It is ice to be quilting and piecing again!
Hugs, Carla

Hi, Carla!
You need to take care of those yarn related injuries, girlfriend!
Great quilt and quilting.
Can you e-mail me some info about your rates for quilting?
Have fun with Jack! He’s a cuteness!
OHHH, he is such a little boy now!
SO sad about your back and arm though….nice yarn I hope.
I love your slash therapy quilt! Take it easy and heal. Don’t push yourself too hard. Just look a cute pics of Jack.
what great fabric in that quilt! take it easy with the elbow…
Wow, look at the size of the shoes Jack is wearing now! They grow so quickly!
Feel better!
Ouch, back and elbow; take it easy and allow some time to heal.
I love this new slasher, the yellow is wonderful. I can’t wait to see the magic.
I love that border.
How cute is Jack with Cheerios stuck to his face? Grandbabies are the best.
Jack’s too busy chil-laxing to notice a Cheerio stuck here or there!!! (I didn’t even notice the Cheerio – too busy looking at his cute face.)
