Bonnie H Posted September 21, 2013 Report Share Posted September 21, 2013 A guild member brought this to me to quilt for her after my hand surgery. She said for me to take my time and get to it when I was ready. Well that was about 7 weeks ago. I guess I did take my time (!!!) while waiting for my grip to get better. It's been two months since my surgery and I still have a swollen area in my palm along with a big hard knot, my finger is still really tight and won't straighten all the way or bend all the way without force. Still doing my exercises daily. But I'm back to quilting a little easier and for longer amounts, though I still don't have quilt the control I wish I had when it comes to custom. Is this a good excuse for a computerized system? I think so! LOL The little pictures are on my blog and can be made bigger there. Can't figure out how to make them bigger here from the small size on my blog. Thanks for looking! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
