Hope the MRI will show what is needed to know; Rocco had the ligament surgery last May and is doing WONDERFULLY well today. Now that I study (on a bigger screen than my phone ha) your choices, I do tend to lean towards the stylised leaf frond against the peachy background; it really makes the peaches in that leaf pop. But the darker moiré taffeta swirl (good descriptions!) would be fabulous too as it is so very dark and rich. You can't go wrong with either. ;-) Thank you so much again for joining me!Sandra Walkerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17737049269550479188noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4450572385521130262.post-7190006713163892017-03-19T10:49:29.612+13:002017-03-19T10:49:29.612+13:00Wonderful !

That quote reminds me of a saying I saw on water bottles at Yosemite National Park: "Get Out While You Can." I think about that a lot, especially when I feel the pressure of time flying by. That quote has motivated me to do a lot of things. I'm betting that you will find a way to manage your machine treadle with your left foot ~ Just practice on some scrap fabric first.

I read somewhere that we all should change feet regularly, when we sew. It is suppose to be easier on the joints.

Lovely choices and links, thanks.<br />We have a large grab bar in the shower and I wouldn't want to do without it now. Any devices I can find, I think I will happily use.<br />Choosing fabrics for a project is the hardest thing for me; I would not be very helpful. I know whatever you wind up choosing will be wonderful. I never knew that quote was longer than the last line.
