I had an appointment at the dentist yesterday to find out why I keep getting an infection where I had had a root canal a few years ago. I thought he was just going to open up the gum and sort of clean it up. He found the root had a crack in it so he had to remove it. One day later, I look like I'm holding a golf ball in my mouth! I'm on antibiotics and some mild pain killers. It's actually feeling much better now that 24 hours have passed.
I had hoped to start machine quilting the border on the Puzzle Box quilt yesterday. However, after that pesky dental appointment, I was lucky to just lay on the couch and keep awake. As you can see, I did get to the sewing machine today! I worked sort of slowly but I really enjoyed my time spent sewing. Between the Easter holiday and the dentist, I was wondering if I'd get to do any sewing soon.

I have a feeling this is going to take a little while but I just love the end result. That black border looked so plain to me. I hope to work on it a little bit everyday. It'll get done soon enough. I have to keep reminding myself to enjoy the process! So what that I have 3 other quilt tops just begging to be quilted!!
Ouch! I went through something similar last year--no fun!! I love your quilting--so pretty. Hope you feel better very soon..Julierose
ReplyDeleteThanks, Julierose. I feel much better today. I wasn't expecting the swelling. It felt good to quilt and forget about that stupid tooth!
DeleteHope you're feeling better soon, but your quilting looks fabulous! Love that variegated thread on the black!
ReplyDeleteThank you! I should have said in the post that it's Superior Thread. I use Aurifil more but this one is working out nicely!
DeleteThe quilting in the border is awesome! I love the choice of variagated thread, too.
ReplyDeleteHope your mouth feels better soon.
Thanks! I think the border is going to be quite colorful! My mouth is better than earlier today but I want that swelling to go away!!
DeleteOuch! Hope you are feeling better today! Your quilting looks beautiful and that variegated thread is perfect on the black!
ReplyDeleteThanks, my mouth is feeling much better. Still a bit swollen but not as bad as before. So glad you like the quilting!
DeleteI hope you are feeling better Rosemary. Your quilting looks great on the black background of the boarder. Can't wait to see the finished product. Feel Better.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Linda! The swelling is better today. Still a little sore but definitely improving. Happy to know you like the quilting! it's a little bright but I love the color on the black too!
DeleteOuch! I hope you are feeling much better now! I LOVE your quilting on the black border! It is gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteSo nice to hear from you! My tooth is better but still not completely back to normal. The antibiotics aren't agreeing with me but almost done! I just hope this tooth will finally stop bugging me! Thanks for liking my FMQ on the border. I wish I had done more but that stupid tooth has slowed me down!
DeleteFeel better soon! That sounds like it HURTS. I love the quilting! The pop of color on the black is beautiful!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Alyx!
DeleteI hope you're feeling better today. The quilting looks great! The variegated thread on the black adds movement in a way just plain black wouldn't do.
ReplyDeleteI auditioned a variegated black thread and it just didn't do anything for the quilt. I really love how the colors in the thread are waking up the quilt!
DeleteBeautiful stitching and thread!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the nice comment, Linda!
