Stuck in neutral! Half sewn binding on this vintage applique quilt.
As you can see by the abandoned projects above, nothing is happening here, boy am I bored too on top of the misery, tried knitting but that's a bit awkward.
The CW quilt has spineless feather borders both in the outer and the inner [hourglass] border, then meandering feathers, spineless again, in the body of the quilt.
Finally got around to organize DH to hang my Stash NYB quilt in the stairwell, it was quite a production/challenge to place an extra long ladder with its legs at different levels [a little scary] and then to get the quilt hung on the hooks and pretty even at that!
Well, just wanted to let you know why I am not blogging, but I hope that with a few days rest I will be able to function again.
If you are a praying person I would appreciate your intercession for speedy relief!
And it's election day in the USA.
God bless all of you and God bless the United States of America!

Oh, Ros - So very sorry about your back going out again. And at such a very inconvenient time of year for it, too. Sure hope it backs down quickly. Three weeks is a LONG time to be in back agony while waiting for surgery. :( I'm betting that tomorrow morning we still will not know who our President will be here in the U.S. - lots of things happening that'll provide grounds for recounts and lawsuits, unfortunately. The mess left by hurricane Sandy, malfunctioning (if not sabotaged) machines that register one name when a voter presses another, county officials who refused to process ethnic voter registrations last week. . . it's a nightmare.
These fragile backs. We abuse them in our youth and they give us nothing but trouble in our older years. I'm so sorry.
I hope that the operation will help.
Let us know how it goes.
Take care and take lots of meds.
I can't imagine not being able to move or do the things I love doing. I hope/pray that your back lets up enough for you to do what you want/need to do befor your surgery. Then I hope/pray that that goes really well and that you have a speedy recovery and can get back to your wonderful projects.
My heart goes out to you! Wishing you a speedy recovery now and with the surgery.
To keep your mind occupied, you might try loading some books onto your iPod...I found that saved me. I could hold the "book", read and turn pages all with just one hand.
Sorry for your pain, my husband goes through the same thing, so I can relate to a point and I hope that your surgery goes well and you are back to feeling better soon.
