I'm sorry to read of your resulting injury. I think we all know when to start, but are reluctant to finish.

And your string blocks are so very vibrant. Hopefully rest will get you back to your machine. I also followed Debbie for many years and learned so much from her about watercolor quilts. She always responded promptly and thoroughly to questions. She had a true gift in making her quilts glow. She also never gave up when her ailments made quilting difficult. I will miss her very much.<br />Pat<br />MissPathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06807348837446241284noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-280788527989249009.post-13344371131594876222021-04-22T23:49:21.349+12:002021-04-22T23:49:21.349+12:00Tendonitis is not a good thing for sure.

If the snow would have just melted, I think they would have been ok, but the freezing temps did them in. They were all about to open- all 150 of them. Same day that Debbie died, mourning her loss.Linda Swanekamphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07291121742617818637noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-280788527989249009.post-28347644187601749812021-04-22T23:24:58.931+12:002021-04-22T23:24:58.931+12:00Oh no--so sorry to SEE that, Maureen.

So sad to lose an online friend , lean on your memories. Down here, I am having another tread mill test next week, cancelled very early this Tuesday morning.Some angina has started again, the guys and gals in green attended at 1 a.m. and I had a day in ED last weekend.Love your flower fabric, I have not been doing much in the quilting line lately, one small block in the US tour, and trying to decide on fabrics for a colourwash wall hanging pattern from "cottonandbourbon" I do hope your hand and wrist heal, and the temptation to cut any more flowers is dealt with properly.XXXNancy Jhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11854698513524662527noreply@blogger.com
