Is Quilting Dangerous?????

Well one would think not!!!! There r times when we stab ourselves with a pin or needle or nick our hand with the rotary cutter or scissors (or is that just me???) or when u trip over a bag full of fabric u carelessly left lying around (ok thats definetley just me lol) ..but this weekend i learnt a valuable lesson ......if u r going to spend hours and hours, sewing, cutting or folding patterns........take a break, to avoid unnecessary injury. I have spent the last few days resting my shoulder after tearing a muscle. Thank u to everyone who sent an email or left a comment!!! Bloggers r just soooooo lovely and caring!!!
Not being able to sew, made me quite "cranky" but im hoping to start again tomorrow!!! Ive got another block to finish on the new Winter Quilt (which u can read all about over at Anne Idas blog). Its fun doing a quilt with a friend. All the emailing and planning and the "show and tell" plus just knowing ur sharing a passion with someone like minded!!!
Well a post is boring without pics so Im just going to share with u the advertisements for the Family Values Quilt. This is appears in Homespun:

And this one in Australian Country Threads:

I love them both but this one is by far my favourite..........makes me want to take the quilt back and snuggle underneath it.

Take care

  2. Ouch!!! Rose how awful! You must rest and take care of your shoulder. I know only too well how cranky we get when we cant sew but you must really be careful.
    Big Hugs!

  11. Oh no! Did you tear a muscle because you were quilting so much? We have a retired physiotherapist in our guild who is always talking to us about stopping to stretch and move around while quilting. I hope you get better very soon.

    So nice to see your quilt in magazines! Congratulations :))

  12. The ads look great in print, of course. I'm glad your shoulder is healing. All of those things you said sound like me - except nicking myself with the rotary cutter. I'm paranoid about that and have managed not to do it in 30+ years!

  15. Take care of your shoulder!
    I had to have stitches in my eyebrow last week, after tripping over a box with fabrics in the dark, so accidents happens elsewhere too. I can take the strips and bandaid off on Wednesday. I will have a scar forever, reminding me to be more careful maybe?
    Congratulations on having your quilt in magazines ! :-)

  17. Oh dear - another person with a bad shoulder! I'm so sorry to hear this! Both May and I can really understand where you are coming from. How did you hurt your shoulder? Take it easy and don't sew too much too soon. I think I did and now I'm suffering for it.
