Scissor ache!

I cut all of the letter and half of the numbers last night and my fingers *complained* - I can't beleive that I used to cut ALL of my pieces by hand!!! Today I cut the rest of the numbers and get started on the objects. I've never used WU before, and so far I'm unconvinced. If it gives a softer hand, I might decide that it was worth the trouble, but it seems to sort of partially stick... I think that I'll do a test piece today to see how it goes.

Laura Wasilowski gave me a hint (thanks, Laura!) in that I keep all of my fused scraps separate from my plain fabric scraps. I don't have scads of fused scraps (yet) but another thing I may do today (hopefully my last one in bed, for a while at least!) is sort out my plain color scraps by colorway...

I am itching to get really working again. I am going to pick up an afghan cross stitch baby pattern tomorrow so I can work on that when I am down, but my quilts are calling me! I realize that if I were into crazy quilting or handquilting, that I could keep working in bed, but I'm not, and figuring out how to iron from bed? Move my sewing machine onto an over the bed table? I pieced an entire top from bed when I had a brain infection once, but I don't see myself doing that again any time soon.

Anyone have any hints for quilt artistry while on bedrest? Note: I am not always at my cognitive sharpest when I'm down, so safey is paramount!
