Some new machine covers
I was going nuts recovering from hand surgery and being unable to do
anything creative. Well I finally was able to use my hands for something. Not the most complex things, but they were needed as the other ones they replace were getting a little stale for me. The link takes you to the first of three pictures of some Sewing Machine covers. Made from some left over quilt squares. I have one more to do but that will have to wait for another day.

They're really smart. I love the paisley fabrics on the treadle cover.

What a great thing to do with unfinished quilt tops. I have some extra Baltimore album blocks and a sewing buddy who has everything. This will be great gift for her. Time is short, I hope I can whip it up in an afternoon. I have an old plastic cover that should make a good pattern. Thanks for the idea.

Good for you! Very attractive.
I've had hand surgery, not fun at all. Roberta in D On Thu, 11 Dec 2008 10:06:48 -0800 (PST), John wrote: I was going nuts recovering from hand surgery and being unable to do anything creative.

John, I was just thinking . . . (an event that is a little scary) that while
you're healing, you would enjoy traveling around the websites that show wonderful quilt ideas. One that I think you'll enjoy is http://www.windhamfabrics.com/projects/index.shtml There are some 9-patches there that might call to you. Polly |

What hand surgery? I know I don't get to monitor this group often, but I
can't believe I missed that. Sending good, healing thoughts, prayers, and the gentlest of hugs. Heal fast, John!

I hope you are doing better and healing well John. Hand surgery
doesn't sound fun at all. Great covers. Nice that you are able to get back to sewing. Taria John wrote: I was going nuts recovering from hand surgery and being unable to do anything creative.

John http://good-times.webshots.com/photo...00692635yoeTGi The gory details are that last year, at this time, if you remember, I suffered a slight injury to two fingers of my left hand during some machine work, in the basement. It involved my fingernails. The docs at the time said they might grow back in "funny". Well, after a year of dealing with "funny" fingernails, I decided to deal with them. Hence the outpatient surgery, and he resulting wrap of gauze which renders the fingers unusable for anything other than giving the peace sign. After having tried that approach during the 1960's, I finding that it is as ineffectual now as it was back then, I bide my time until I have the stitches removed, and return once more to the forefront of creative quilting, (well, my idea of that). So there you have the sad tale of somebody who should have known better than to come too close to a table saw. As they say, experience,is a great teacher. I couldn't believe that 45 years of injury free machine usage should not remain a constant. And so it goes. John |
