with my sore hands

After I screwed up my hands on Saturday, I still had things I wanted to do around the house.  I had finished the current quilt top I was working on and it was time to baste.  Baste with safety pins.  I guess it was easier then trying to use a needle and thread but by the time I got to this task, my hands had bigger bandages that were held on with masking tape.  Latex free bandages just do not stick well but I react so badly to the regular ones.  Weeping wounds on either side of the original wound.  So not fun!  The masking tape trick works really well.  Sticks to the bandage and skin if I need.  Duct tape works to by the way.

My stiff hands slowly got all the pins in.  I had found a piece of fabric in my stash that I did not need to piece for the back.  It has been a long time since I have made a simple fabric backing but I really like this fabric.  It just being quilted will be cool.

My hands are out of bandages today.  One wound does not hurt.  The other still does.  Both will heal and then I will go into the garden again.  It is a little bit cooler because there is a slight chance of rain and a few clouds are floating through.  But today was still inside for healing.  And making more yarn.  And the stitching of the quilt.  I might be in a place to have the binding being worked on this weekend.  Then I need to make lunch plans so I can gift it.  Makes me smile.
