hurt thumb! Paul and I were play fighting on Sunday. It's all fun and games until someone gets hurt. I was trying to punch Paul. Paul was blocking with his huge muscle. He karate chopped my thumb, and I went down fast with crazy pain. Then the boys thought (she's down, it is jump on Mom time). I thought it was broken for sure even the next day it was hurting pretty bad. I thought how am I going to be a mom without a thumb. Today it does feel lots better, the kids have only bumped it four times. So hopeful it will make a fast recovery.
So to some sewing stuff. Yesterday I finished piecing the backs of my pillows. I was kind of nervous I wasn't going to have enough but I made it. It was a close one, this was all the fabric I had left. I got them all ready to quilt. So here goes nothing, I am going to dive in and do it. Oh I hope they turn out well without having to unpick too much.
Pillows are done. I finished them the other night, just before my friends came over. I love them. They make my dark room a little brighter. Don't you think they scream spring or what! I have to tell you free motion quilting was kind of hard I know its just because I am new at it. It like patting your head and rubbing your stomach at the same time. It can be done but it takes some time to get good at it. I think I did a OK job, but don't look to close please.
This is the backs as you can see I left them open so I could wash them after a while.
I did quilt some with loop-d-loops and some that look like puzzle pieces.
