I've introduced a little variety by building fans from both sides. And yes, I'm still stitching lefthanded. In fact, I'm better at it now than I am at using my right hand, at least when I'm using the quilting spoon. It took a while to get the hang of the spoon, but it's working very well, and I really like the relaxed feeling of knowing I'll never get stabbed.

Quilt Therapy
I've been going through a rough patch lately. There's the omnipresent work, of course, but also problems involving my elderly parents---lots of difficult situations and decisions, and a mountain of paperwork. My creativity is very low, but the need for soothing diversions high. I'm very glad I have the linen quilt in the frame. I seldom have much free time, but when I do, the contained and easily controlled world of a rocking needle and (semi)neat stitches is just what I need.

sorry to hear of the rough patch. hope things get better soon. glad to hear that the quilting is going well and doing it's job of soothing you.
i have been through similar rough times but all these different life "patches" will become a wonderful life quilt!
I wish you comfort and strength with your troubles. When I've been in similar circumstances I like to carry something I can hand piece in my purse. It gives me relief from the stress and an opportunity to meet some of my own needs.
