Learning a New Technique

Saturday we had a workshop with Carla J, and she was amazing. She taught a new to me technique of piecing, and I really enjoyed it. 

It wasn't paper piecing, and it wasn't applique - but others in our group who had done that type of work were able to draw from that experience. I haven't done any Paper Piecing and VERY LITTLE applique - so I was the newbie

 We gathered supplies, and we were supposed to bring freeze paper... so I brought something that I thought was freezer paper - but!! Did you know that Parchment Paper and Freezer Paper are not the same thing?   I do now!!!  My Friend Cindy had extra so I was all good!

We did some Drawing and some fabric choosing... and then we got to work...

This is my FIRST Curved seam of the day - and heck fire - if it just didn't turn out so nice!! 

I then learned to match and pin - and!! Got half of my leaf done.  I kind of like it. It does take a long time though, and now I have some wonky cuts out my fabric  - but I think I will survive.

it was a long day - and when I got home... my babies needed to nap.... 

And give me grief for not being with them all day. In my defense.... K was home, and Lil Bit showed up later - so they weren't REALLY alone.... they just made me feel SOOO guilty!!

Sunday was Mothers day and lookie here - I made out like a bandit!! haha Mothers day Morning was spent in the Urgent care, someone had a little accident Thursday, and Saturday night her foot swelling had not gone down and the pain had gotten worse so her son and her spouse made her go to urgent care,

The doc in urgent care was the nicest I have ever met, He gave me a shot of tramadol (pain meds) right away and I might have fallen in love right there. I have never had that before, and I rarely take any pain meds - so it worked quite well. 

Anyways - there is a reason I was in pain... I broke my foot... so! Sometime this week I get to go to the ortho to learn about what is next - other than the pretty black boot they put me in. He did tell me that I need to expect at least 6-8 weeks to fully heal... has he not met my dogs????

We walk a good 5-7 miles a day.... how???

Ah well - Lil Bit brought me quilt magazines and he got me the one that Carole ( From My Carolina Home )   has a QOV pattern in!! I was so excited... its like he read my mind when he saw the patriotic Quilts.....
