Yesterday was a beautiful day so went out for a run. I was nearly home when I stepped off the pavement to go past an elderly gentleman walking his dog. The road had just been recently resurfaced and there were lots of loose chippings at the side. I skidded on them like they were marbles (although an awful lot sharper!!) and landed flat on my face - much to the amusement of a group of teenagers on their way to school. The old gentleman helped me up but I realised that apart from managing to 'pebble dash' my hands and knees, I had hurt more than my pride - I had twisted my ankle badly. I hobbled home and sat with a bag of frozen peas on it and now it looks like this.... (sorry if I put anyone off their breakfast with this photo!!)
Sometimes I wonder whether it is worth all the effort trying to ward off 'middle age spread' and just order those elasticated waist trousers now!!!
As I cannot walk on it, I have decided to post some pictures of quilts that I have been working on over the last couple of weeks. I know I'm not very good and sitting down and posting on my blog so having an enforced 'sit down' had made me do it. Enjoy.
Just scrolling down the photo's I realise there are some great quilters out there and I thank you all for the chance to work on your quilts - I never cease to be inspired.

Oh my goodness! I'm sorry for your accident and I hope it heals very quickly. I would certainly milk it for all it's worth, though. It's not often that one has a valid excuse to have others at one's beck and call. Thanks for sharing the pretty pictures!
ReplyDeleteOuch! It looks very painful. Hope it heals quickly!! I was actually thinking of calling you today, will give you sometime to rest now before I do.
ReplyDeleteGee whizz, you're such a soldier. That looks really uncomfortable now! Hope it recovers soon.
ReplyDeleteHope you soon recover - looks extremely painful. Love the inspirational quilts.
