The past couple of days have been spent at my cutting table in the extra bedroom as there just isn't room in my sewing room. I'm having a carpal tunnel release on my right wrist on Tuesday and not knowing just how long it may be before I can push on a rotary cutter has me cutting several projects. The fabric on the table is for gift bags for the coming Christmas. I am changing things up a bit there. The stockings will still be hung--not by the chimney as I haven't one upstairs--but not filled. I got frustrated this past year by the whole stockings and gifts under the tree thing. The children especially like the stocking gifts (I spend a lot of thought etc on them) so I'm expanding on that idea and putting all their gifts into a large gift bag. I can get larger and more things that way, more fun all around. I also cut the fabric for my Irish chain bed quilt, fabric for a bedskirt, some flannel backs for the rag quilt and some burp rags. After dinner I will cut more shirts up for the memory quilt. I finished cutting denim last week so I should be pretty well set! I figure I'll be able to push fabric through the machine after a few days. This wrist will be more trying for me as I am totally right handed! As Rob says my left hand is stupid! Wish me luck.

Wowee! That rotary cutter of yours has had a really good workout! I hope Tuesday's procedure brings you some relief once healed. It's going to enjoyable seeing all the projects as they progress. Happy Stitching,
Ann :-)
