By the sea and new table runner

I finished the By the sea QAL top the day before yesterday.

 Its not quilted yet....maybe next week if I  can find a backing fabric for it.

In the meantime, I  started this this afternoon.  It was designed and demonstrated  by Cheryl Phillips on The Quilt Show earlier this month and I really liked it... but wasn't sure I liked it enough to order the book and specialty ruler.  Finally decided that I  did and ordered it...then went to the LQS and found three fabrics in the saleroom. Already had found the fusible fleece in my stash.

Yes, there is curved piecing involved, but only twice... you have to make the piece below twice - and that's it - wasn't hard.

No more to show tonight... maybe tomorrow night.

I went to the orthopedic dr yesterday for what I hoped would be relief from this carpal tunnel in my left hand.  It turns out that he doesn't think it's carpal tunnel.  He thinks it's the nerve that runs from the elbow (funny bone) down to your ring and pinky fingers.  Sooo, x-rays were taken ( of both hands) and I'm to have another MRA? (carpal tunnel test) - this time on the left wrist... and then he'll see what he can do to relieve this discomfort.  ARGHHHH.... He said that he could give me a splint for my arm to wear at night so that I don't bend my elbow.... no thanks, I sleep with my elbows bent.
A neighbor says she has the same thing, but just in her pinky finger - her dr. told her there was nothing he could do - that it would heal itself.  She said it's been a year and it's still 'numb'.  I hope my dr. doesn't tell me the same thing - I might have to hurt him!

Well, guess I should quit 'blathering' as my friend in Scotland calls and see what I can accomplish before it's time for Buddy's nightly walk. 

take care....
ttyl....
stay safe......
