And that's true for many of us. I find that if I put it away for a week or so and look at it again, the "mistake" appears fine and needs no repairing to make it beautiful. The spools/loopy/needle idea wins the grand prize this weekend-you're a thoughtful and elegant designer.Lynda Halliger Otvos (Lynda M O)https://www.blogger.com/profile/08938791116446859160noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5045426307379086704.post-92201820390796588642014-01-15T20:56:12.986-08:002014-01-15T20:56:12.986-08:00I love your spool and needle quilting idea for you...I love your spool and needle quilting idea for your quilt.

People can play spot the needle as well as oohing and aahing at the embroidery. :)<br /><br />As far as I'm concerned, if you don't give up on the exercise after a setback or extra day off, that is a big plus. And a physio day is definitely a work out day.works4mehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18354741604515547179noreply@blogger.com
