Taking The Plunge

It's back to work on Monday, back to the regular routine. I've enjoyed the time off,  but admit I'm looking forward to having my income again.
Rehab went well, and I have a  list of exercises I need to continue with, my doctor tells me I can get rid of the walker and progress to a cane. I'm still not totally confident or stable but time will fix that I'm sure. 
I certainly haven't spent my time just sitting. I used the time and took the plunge into hand applique. Not just one but two projects.
Having spoken to Bren and getting lots of pointers I decided it was time to also take the plunge and try hand quilting. This is what's in my frame, one leaf done and lots left. 
I said I'd done two hand applique projects, the second is the Henrietta BOM. I had so much fun stitching this quilt. We'll see how well this hand quilting goes, and I may surprise myself and hand quilt the BOM quilt as well.


Happy Stitching
