Hoopla Quilt Top

Sewing with one hand is slow going. I had a Hoopla Jelly Roll and some Hoopla yardage. Seemed like a good time to take advantage of a pre-cut and attempt an easy strip quilt variation. This quilt is for a grand daughter that wants me to make her a quilt with lots of green and blue. I'll piece the back from some Hoopla yardage during the next 3 days. It should finish a little shy of 60"x70". Surgery on my wrist to install a plate and some screws is scheduled Monday morning. Soooo I'm not sure when this little quilt will be finished.

Vacation

My motorcycle adventure vacation ride started in North Carolina. It was a cool, wet, overcast ride to Front Royal. Then we rode the entire length of a very wet, very foggy Skyline Drive.







Pictured are Malcolm and Kevin, friends on the trip. After Skyline Drive, we rode the length of the Blue Ridge Parkway.



A visit to Mt Mitchell, he highest peak in the east.



A picture at the highest point on the Blue Ridge Parkway.





We stayed at a motorcycle hotel in Robbinsville, NC. NEAT.





Unfortunately a hundred miles from home, my back tire ran over a walnut, I lost control, went off the road into a bit of a slide and then down. The bike is fine, but my left wrist has a few fractured bones. Urgent Care felt it should heat nicely, but they want me to see an orthopedic surgeon. I go Tuesday.

I'm selling my bikes. Last year I broke my ankle, this year my wrist. A three wheel Can Am is in my future :D

I'll be taking a break from blogging for a month or two, or at least until I learn to sew with one hand.
