CHOOKSHED challenge progress

 I have been very busy with work and spending a lot of hours at the hospital with my husband. There has been slow progress with him but it is better than none. He is now taking some steps with staff by his side. Small steps are progress. It will be a long road. 

I take my Boro sewing in but no photo yet but there will be soon. Boro is a technique that requires not much concentration. It can be picked up and put down at any time. Just what I need.

Anyway. This months challenge is for me to hand sew the binding down on my Bonnie Hunter Frolic 2019 quilt. I had already machine sewn it on and now I just need to hand sew it down to finish it. 

I have had it out of the cupboard for 2 weeks sitting on the couch.

So tonight while I watch mindless tv late at night I have picked it up and started sewing. One side is nearly sewn down. Progress is progress no matter how small.


Linking up with Deana

Any progress is progress, especially with Tony. And the quilt is beautiful. The bright colors are cheerful and uplifting. When it's finished it will look good draped over Tony.

The recovery road is not an expressway. Slow and steady like the turtle. So glad he is making progress and that you are taking care of you too. Your quilt looks lovely and will be an accomplishment you can be proud to display. Keep on being strong. Dotti in CT

Even though it’s slow it’s good to read Tony is making progress.
Nice for you to have something to work on when visiting and home alone watching TV.

Every little bit of progress for hubby is progress indeed, small steps I guess. Doing handwork which needs little thinking (or knitting) about is great to take for hospital visits. Do you have to travel far to the hospital?

As you say, any progress is progress and all progress is good. It looks like a bright and beautiful quilt.

Good to hear that he is making some progress, slow but sure is the way. What a stunningly colourful quilt, very Froliccy!

It sounds like you are both making a little progress. Every bit is a move forward. It will be good to get your binding finished, as it is a gorgeous quilt.

I love the colours of your Frolic.
I hope the rest of your family are looking after you as you support Tony on the long recovery road.

Good to hear Tony is slowly progressing. And yes, any binding stitching is also good progress.

Your Frolic quilt is so pretty! And handwork does help.
