I finished my grandson’s Christmas ornament. It is a star shaped iced gingerbread cookie made from felt.
It is personalized like the others.
I’m so glad that all three ornaments for my grandchildren are ready to be given to them in December.
A lot of progress has been made on my youngest granddaughter’s Christmas stocking. The little girl’s nightgown is done except for French knots and backstitching which will get done later.
Now I’m working my way down to the toe of the stocking. The lavender is the end of the left side of the stocking.
Another block has been quilted on Having a Ball (the pale green one on top). There are now 16 of the 36 blocks quilted.
Of course, all this progress is due to the fact that I am not able to do much else at the moment. The MRI that I had on Tuesday showed both meniscus are torn and there is a slight fracture of the tibia. I got the report from the radiology center. The ACL is fine. I’m wearing my brace and will see how the orthopedist wants to move forward on Monday. I’ve gone to PT twice and I have no pain.
I will be joining Kathy for some Slow Sunday Stitching and Frederique at the Quilting Patch today. I hope you take some time to sit back with some tea or coffee and pop on over to their sites to see what other bloggers are stitching.
Thanks for stopping by!
Love the ornament , and your stitching is growing .
ReplyDeleteSo is your patch work.
Have a fun weekend hugs June.
Yikes…you really did a number on your knee. I hope the dr’s appt goes well and that they can do something to patch you up. The bright side…you are getting lots of stitching done. Lucas’ ornament is cute. You have added lots of stitches to the stocking and your quilt too. I will pick out a quilt for hand quilting when the weather cools off. I have several tops in line to be quilted. I purchased 2 fall cross stitch patterns and have Aida cloth and thread ready to go. I just want to finish my rug hooking first. Take care.

ReplyDeleteI'm glad you aren't in pain although the results of the MRI sound like there could be a lot of pain! I'm glad you are able to make progress on your handwork projects.--TerryK@OnGoingProjects
ReplyDeleteI can't go up and down stairs using my right leg as that is painful, but walking with the brace on is pain free. Thanks for visiting.
DeleteSo sorry to hear of your knee issues. You have lots of pretty projects to work on as you heal. Love that quilt =)
ReplyDeleteThose gingerbread cookies ornaments are so sweet! It's great that you have them done already. Looks like good progress on both the stocking and your hand quilting, too. So glad you're not in too much pain from the leg injuries, may you heal quickly!
ReplyDeleteHello Cathie: The ornament for Lucas is positively adorable, I love working with felt. You have done a lot of stitching on the Christmas stocking; I am not a fan of back stitching but sometimes have to do so. The quilt you are working on is beautiful, I am very curious, do you quilt each block and then sew them together or quilt them as on large design? its my mind I am a curious person.
ReplyDeleteIt is good to hear you have no pain during PT, I pray you heal quickly.

Your grandson's Christmas ornament is a lovely finish and the Christmas stocking is coming along nicely. Those greens and purple are lovely together. Having a Ball is looking wonderful .The leg brace sounds like it is doing a good job in preventing pain but those stairs seem to be a problem. It seems as if you will be doing a lot of hand stitching over the next little while. Take care, Cathie.
ReplyDeleteBravo for finishing the ornaments, and making so much progress on the stocking and the quilting. Thankfully it's not too painfull, I hope your knee heals soon. Take care. Thank you for sharing and linking up.
ReplyDeleteSuch a beautiful ornament that I’m sure your precious grandson will enjoy for years to come! I’ve enjoyed watching your progress on your granddaughters stocking. What beautiful memories you are making. Your hand quilting is lovely, the perfect balance of highlighting the colored fabric while providing a place for the eye to “rest”.
ReplyDeleteI am so grateful you have no pain! May you heal with no side effects.
I absolutely adore these personalized ornaments you are sewing, Cathie. And you are moving along your other projects as well. What you describe sounds painful so very happy that you are pain free. Oh dear. Good luck now with the appointment. Take Care, J
ReplyDeleteI am glad you are not in pain. I hope the treatment is swift and easy!! So glad you have hobbies to keep you busy :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a cut ornament! And the quilt you are working on is very pretty. So good that you aren't in pain but what a hassle to wear a big ole boot.
