Guest guest Posted June 22, 2004 Report Share Posted June 22, 2004 anyone here do any quilting? I made a patchwork quilt for my daughter today(twin size) what a lot of work. I have all the tools to make the job easier but with the ra its still a lot of work. It looks great but now my fingers hurt and my back and my knees, ughhhhhh. I have been doing so well with my vitamins and change of diet that the ra hasn't been bothering me, except I still can't open things or reach for stuff, but I got used to that. At least I was still able to garden and things. But today I am in pain now. I was fine while doing the job but once it was done then I realized I hurt. Gonna take a couple naproxen and go to bed, then spending the day at the beach tomorrow...lol..the sun always makes me feel better. Thanks for listening!

Guest guest Posted June 23, 2004 Report Share Posted June 23, 2004 Pin basting a quit together is what made my wrist swell up so bad, that I actually went in for the first time. That was last year, and I still sew, but I just have to learn to do things diffferently. Noreen [ ] quilting anyone here do any quilting?

It just about killed my hands! I want to learn quilting as many in my family do it, but at this point, I don't think I can do it due to the pain.

Guest guest Posted June 15, 2007 Report Share Posted June 15, 2007 I love quilting. I just got a new machine last night for my birthday. I have been making quilts for my kids and nieces and nephews as they graduate from high school. i did a few baby quilts too. It is very relaxing and healing. Suzanne -- ( ) Quilting Seems alot of us are quilters! I find it is therapeutic - I get lost in my quilts. In the summer it's gardening, rest of the year it is quilting!
