I loved the flange binding so much that I did on the 9 patch quilt that I wanted to try it again. So the small wall hanging of raw edge roses with string blocks was ready to quilt. Easy meandering quilting over most of the quilt. 
The corner areas were wide open and I filled those with some feathers. The flange binding frames it so cute!
The only thing left to add is a label and give this a good wash to fluff it up and fray those edges.
The report from the ophthalmologist was good! With my old glass the left eye has 20/20 vision and 20/30 today in the right eye.....if I shifted and moved my head to find a clear visual spot. He was very impressed with the improvement and progress, and we talked about the increased B-12 injections, and other co-factors I am taking. So things are on the right track.....big sigh of relief.
Yesterday was one year since I was diagnosed and any treatment began. Thanks to all for the support and positive encouragement.
Happy stitching.
Love your flange bindings. More important, I really love hearing that you got a good report and things are on the right track! This has been a really rough year for you, I pray the next one is much easier. ~Jeanne
ReplyDeleteSo good to hear things are on the upswing at last. Very encouraging I'm sure, and so nice that you're able to continue with your beautiful quilting. Those flange bindings add such a nice finishing touch.
ReplyDeleteIt's wonderful to hear the encouraging reports and your finish is lovely.
ReplyDeleteSuch good news on your visit with the eye doctor!
ReplyDeleteThrough all this, Debbie, was there one single diagnosis, or was it a perfect storm of different things that caused your health to stumble?
I have to say that your little frayed flower quilt looks so sweet. And the flange on the binding is a lovely, delicate touch.
Congratulations on a good improvement. I hope it continues to get even better. You have better vision than me now. My left eye is my good eye too.
ReplyDeleteThe binding looks great (as does the whole quilt)! I was thinking of you today, when I found a note about your carpel tunnel surgery, last fall. It's been a rough year for you. Glad things are looking better.
ReplyDeleteI am certainly going to have to try that flange binding on a small quilt. The quilt is adorable.
ReplyDeleteHas it really been a year? You have made amazing improvement. I hope it continues!
So glad the report from the ophthalmologist was a good one. That's got to make you feel so much better to hear that progress is still being made. Gosh, it doesn't seem like it's been a year since the diagnosis. Your flange on that pretty little quilt was perfect for it. Your quilting on it is perfect!
ReplyDeleteSo happy that you had an A report card! This little quilt is just so soft and pleasing to the eye.
ReplyDeleteThat is wonderful news about your eyes!! I like the flange binding too.
ReplyDeleteNot only is the flange binding pretty, your quilting and the little flowers are beautiful too. Glad you got a good report from your doctor. Happy quilting! ---"Love"
ReplyDeleteWow, a year! You are a real trooper. GLad to hear the good report from the optha.
ReplyDeleteThe roses on your quilt are cute, too, along with the flange. The pieced backing really sets them off.
Blessings!
