I've only had to take heavy pain medication a couple of times in my entire life, but can't imagine even WANTING to quilt while doing so. I won't even do anything important after having a single beer except maybe to take a nap. I make enough mistakes straight and sober as it is. I pray that I'm never in such bad pain for an extended amount of time (knock on wood) that I would be forced to quilt in that condition.

I've been known to have a few glasses of wine in the evening and think I can work on my hand applique. I've learned the hard way that I can't do that!

I'm like Rita. I don't need to be 'enhanced' to make a boo-boo.....don't touch the rotary cutter, either!

Rita,

I normally function pretty well on my narcotics, but I guess yesterday wasn't going well. I can knit just fine, but urrrrg.

This quilt is going to be the quilt of many mistakes.

I tried quilting while recuperating from knee surgery a few years ago. It was not a successful attempt!

However, a friend and I will often get together for a sewing Saturday and enjoy a bottle of wine while quilting. Haven't noticed a bad result from that (yet). Like LafondaRanch, I can not do hand applique well after a glass or two though!

Strangely a glass or two of wine enhances my FMQ, though. Guess it's a relaxation thing.

Sorry you're feeling bad Kit. I can't even quilt with a head cold!!!!!

Rosa, I'm perpetually 'feeling bad'. It's my natural state.

Turns out the third time's the charm, though. Look for pictures tomorrow! The quilting is halfway done... yay!

Hahahahahahahaha!!
