I bought this beautiful hand-dyed Perle cotton from Elin Noble’s booth at APNQ.

When I was looking at quilts earlier this month in New York, one detail I loved was the hand stitching with Perle cotton or heavy thread.

So, here is a sneak peek of some embellishment with Perle cotton on the new quilt. I was able to get it fused to batting and then M & M arrived for the afternoon and to spend the night. I have my priorities. I am stitching around the circles with an informal whip stitch.

On a personal note, I have been off Femara for four days. I don’t know if it is psychological, but I feel so much better ?¢‚Ǩ‚Äù much less pain in my feet and legs.
