In answer to

K.'s question:

Karoda, here you can see my fancy cut work on the
vines. I thought this was so cool - all these curly little
pieces. Let's make more, more, more! Until I started
stitching them, and they wound around and around
and on and on and on!!!


Lesson learned: intricate is as intricate does. Which
makes about as much sense as "pretty is as pretty
does." OK, so I don't know what that means, really,
but I will be more sparing with intricate bits in the future.
















Here is my first attempt at hand quilting. Occupies a
lot of hospital time. And I'm running late, must get
back up there.
