Lone Star quilt
in 2003, I was picking my DH, Jay, up from work - we were on our way home - actually ready to turn down our street. It was a left hand turn and I had my blinker on - waiting for traffic to clear so I could turn - we knew it would be a minute so i was turned in my seat talking to Jay - it sounded like a bomb went off in the back of the truck - I went forward and backwards - watched Jay do the same and reached to hold him back as I thought he was going to go through the windshield... I ended up being transported to the hospital - we had been hit by a car that put the bed of our truck in the cab... it was a bad accident. I had surgery on my shoulder and my neck...
I was signed up to take a class from a local teacher... it was a hand piecing class and we were going to make an Oklahoma sampler - my arm was in a sling but that didn't stop me I went and took the class... while at home though I couldn't sit still - I would stand for 20 minutes cutting out pieces then I would sit down and hold the pieces up close to my face and sew them together - I wasn't supposed to move my arm much and this was the only way I could do it.
After they allowed me to use my arm and removed the brace from my neck, I hand quilted my Lone Star... here is a picture of it...
It turned out pretty good ... where there is a method there is a way - and a crazy woman can do anything...
