Preparing my hands to sew.....

I've really got a speed-demoniac working on this slooooow... Cathedral Window.   I'm using my workplace time (door closed for 20-25 minutes) to do a little hand sewing.  I can usually finish four-window panes within an hour.

My Left hand has a third-finger plastic sticky thimble... and the thumb and third finger of my right hand is all set to go!!! 

Still Hand Piecing my hexagon . . .

This is another unusual GREEN... 9-patch set with folded flowers.....    The hand piecing is also very quick and easy...  

I just can't get right back to my cathedral window quilt because of the multiple layers... the hard thread pulling it takes... and the slow,slow,slow pace in which it flows.   Only thing is that my quilter friend said when I finish my cathedral window... there is no need to add batting --- no need to quilt it.  When it's done... its beautifully done!!!
