It's been a very long week of trying not to add to my back injury. Since I can't felt, in an attempt to sit still I got out a cathedral window quilt that has been sitting in the closet for ages. It has about a zillion tiny stitches to go unless it becomes a lap robe instead of a queen size, which was my original intention. The fabrics are lovely batiks which are eye candy. It isn't technically a quilt because there is no batting, but with all of the layers of fabric it is quite heavy and doesn't need any.

When You Can't Felt, Quilt
It's been a very long week of trying not to add to my back injury. Since I can't felt, in an attempt to sit still I got out a cathedral window quilt that has been sitting in the closet for ages.

Fabulous colors!! I LOVE batik fabrics!
ReplyDeleteWow Elizabeth, it looks so good before you finish it. At least you have something to keep you busy.
ReplyDeleteI love batiks, too! The colors are really saturated and remind me of underwater coral reef colors.
ReplyDeleteHopefully I'll be back to felting soon. Every time I look at other people's blogs or flikr there's something inspirational.

Thanks, Karen. It'll be a long time before I lift a spare tire at arms length again!
