It was my left foot, which I didn't think would hamper quilting too much, but I underestimated the amount of time I'd be standing. Or crawling around on the ground removing safety pins and squaring up my quilt. I also didn't realize that when I push down on my sewing machine's pedal, I have a habit of curling up my left toes, which is a big big BIG no no with the broken little piggy. So! Quilting has been a little slow since, and until it's better, quilting will probably continue to move slowly.
I did get a few projects done.

And that's August! I'm excited because September is definitely my favorite month of the year! I'm linking up!
So many finishes! I love the patchwork pillow and the bunting :) I found you through Lily's quilts.
ReplyDeleteOh no, poor baby piggy! I hope it's feeling more like itself soon. It's great that you still managed some sewing - I'm about to embark on an hourglass block (baby quilt), too!
ReplyDeleteI know what you mean about long lists! I forced myself to make a small one for September, but I have quite a long one in my notebook for "someday" projects. Beautiful colors on that first quilt top.
ReplyDeleteVery long list indeed, I was thinking of mine but it is tiny compared to that one :) visiting from the small blog meet.
ReplyDeleteI always always work better with a long list. Weird, huh?
DeleteThanks for stopping by!
Hoe that your little toe heals soon! Love the batiks top. Especially with using black to make all the colors pop.
ReplyDeleteOooo, thank you for reminding me to look at the September HST block - I love it! It fits in nicely with some of the other blocks, too. =]
ReplyDeleteThe September block....*swoon!*
DeleteCute finishes, Audrey! Isn't it crazy how such a small part of your body can throw everything else off when it's hurt?
ReplyDeleteLook, my blog hop is at the top of the list! :)
ReplyDeleteI'm so sorry about your toe. Oh, man. But the cure for broken bones is little pies, so hopefully I can help you out today.
When I think about it, I had some pajama pants that really had it out for my big toe. I kept snagging it on them, and as soon as I learned that a friend had broken her toe that way, I hemmed them. It's a shame you can't just hem the ottoman.
It's totally at the top of the list because I need to get moving! Haha! But I happen to have received a most lovely birthday present that will seriously help in that, so I'm pretty stoked.
DeleteOkay, breaking a toe on PJ pants sounds like craziness. Glad I haven't done that! :)
Nice Projects! Hope the toes are feeling better! You have quite a list of projects... I should make a list so I can remember what I'm doing... so many ideas, so little time. ps-your quilt top is very pretty :)
ReplyDeleteThank you so much! Yes, my list is a tad bit overboard, but I find I always work better with super long scary lists. I never complete them, but I always seem to finish smaller ones and then twiddle my thumbs wondering what to do! :)
DeleteAnd thanks for stopping by my blog! The toe, thankfully, is MUCH better, and I think I'll be back to my normal quilty self very soon.
