Finishing Details

Today was a day for tying up loose ends — i.e., sewing sleeves, making labels, cutting slats, etc for the 4 quilts that are to be delivered tomorrow night for jurying into the High Fiber Diet elements show.

I have been having a problem with my right knee. I think I twisted it on a walk last week and over the week-end it was a real pain, especially at night when I am in bed. The only thing that helps is wrapping it with ice. I can’t get a Dr. appointment until next week. Mr C suggested I stop taking long walks with Scooter. Whadyaknow!? It is feeling better after two days of rest.

I really enjoyed the SDA meeting yesterday. It was very busy here with laptops whirring as we uploaded head shots and images of work for about 8 SDA members in Portland/Vancouver area. Susan Taber Avila was here to help. She is an amazing fiber artist from Oakland and on the SDA Board. She also teaches at UC Davis.

And, I am caught up on 3 x 3s.

    glad your knee is better….rest and husbands’ suggestions can both be good things, sometimes!

    Just catching up with you. Persephone is very cool. Love the colors.
    I hesitate to recommend stuff over the counter to people but I too have a right knee issue. After tests it turns out to be just more arthritis. I could hardly make it up the stairs. I started with triple strength Glucosamin Chondroitin tabs and after two weeks, I was so much better. Usual dose is two a day now I take only one daily with my vitamins in the AM-on a full tummy-that’s important.
    Hope you’re better soon. Things that keep me from cruising through the day make me crabby-I’m guessing you may be the same…
