A Little Quilting

Well as I said I was going to be in Little Rock yesterday getting the injections in the thumbs so not much got done at home –someone asked was it really painful – well I won’t lie — yes you do feel it  they spray a numbing solution on the area of the injections but I kind of think it really doesn’t do much to numb it.  Yes it hurts but it is a short hurt if that helps you any.  To put the solution in each thumb with the syringe is about 30 seconds to a 1 minute? I don’t really time it.  I am one of the weird types that actually watches the whole thing and don’t scream or cry – just go with it and it is over shortly.  I  chat the whole time with the APRN or the doctor whichever one is doing it that day.   I know what to expect now so no big surprise for it.

It will hurt afterwards normally 30 minutes to an hour – today the left thumb hurt for several hours but by evening it was done and I was sitting at the computer typing up my blog post and then sitting at the quilting frame seeing if I could quilt the whole evening after I got done doing my peddling exercise.  Which by the way works ok – it is a Cubii and I am at resistant level 6 it goes to 8.   I peddle once or twice a day for 20 to 30 minutes both times.  I had to build myself up to it – I feel it in my lower legs, the knees and the lower thighs, it is not bothering my feet and that was the whole point of switching from the treadmill to that.  I had hoped maybe I could stitch at the same time but it didn’t work out, can’t concentrate on that so I read, listen to an audio or a show or just watch the birds coming to the feeder if I put it in the right position I can see out the window.

Quilting on Arkansas Traveler from Monday night – two or 3 more nights and it should be done.  Linking to Wednesday Wait Loss #359 — Midweek Makers #414 —

The Hunter’s Star will be next on the frame – I will decide how to quilt it when I get it on the frame – if I remember right it is about 100 x 100 inches like most of them are – this was a RSC quilt – pieced in 2022 and finished June of 2023 – no big border means less quilting time LOL – instead of near 180 hours that Arkansas Traveler is taking this one will be back to the usual 80 hours or so

While we were out yesterday we dropped by the mall to walk around and look at Christmas decorations – the big tree was up – yes it is looking a bit like Xmas at the mall.  I took the photo from the second level so I could get it all in – Santa was even waiting for children to arrive.

Well Melanie be over for baking later today – we will see – baking is getting done with or without her today.
