First for all thanks for all the well wishes over the last two weeks… it has been slow going but after 10 days of wallowing in self-pity I am slowly getting back into quilting. Yesterday I finally put the machine back up and sewed a little… I thought I was at last okay enough to “operate heavy machinery”.
So I have been slowly, very slowly quilting a darling low volume quilt I had pieced before I got sick. Actually I have pieced two quilts which are almost identical – they use the same fabric but just arranged differently. It is a custom order for two gorgeous twin toddlers who happen to really like pink… girls after my own heart.
I have also discovered another joy of quilting in the last two days – you can do a little sewing and then have a lie down when you need to.
I promise I will be back on schedule next week…
WOMBAT QUILTS 
No promises required! Sew when you feel like it, rest when you need to! Those low volume quilts are lovely!
Be kind to yourself. Rest when you feel like it and don’t feel obligated to post. We know you will return when you are back to 100% and this blog should not be a “I’ve GOT to…” but rather an “I am eager to…” Thanks for sharing your lovely quilts.
Welcome back, you have been missed! Those quilts are so sweet, something gentle and pretty to get you back into the swing. Nothing to beat a little lie down when you need it, and a project that lends itself to nap-breaks!
I’ve been sort of off the grid for the last 2 weeks due to home renovations- I didn’t realize you were sick, so I’m sending very belated get well wishes…
Your quilt is absolutely beautiful! I wish I could put random colors together and have it look like that! I need to get out of my matchy matchy comfort zone. Love this quilt!
Low volume is a great way to practice breaking out of matchy matchy. You choose and use fabric which are predominantly white/cream and has a low value. I can highly recommend trying even just pulling fabric from your stash and playing.
Glad to hear you’re slowly on the mend!
That is so soft and sweet!
they are quilt lovely. You are doing the right thing, a little at a time until you are back to full strength.
What a great selection of fabrics, so pretty and calm.
you are such a prolific quilter that it must seem impossible to slow down to heal. The stomach bug can be very hideous! I love that you chose the low volume to come back with – easy on the eyes and comforting. Take it easy, you!
Hope you feel better. The flu is the worst! Blech!
I need to find motivation to get working on my quilt again! I don’t have any excuses!
espero que estes mejor , la salud no lo es todo , pero si ella no hay nada. Un beso grande
