I have been soooooooooooooooo remiss in posting. My excuse, and granted it's a decent one, is that it's so darn time consuming to do everything with my left hand. If I can get at the correct angle on my laptop I can type with both hands, but the big old sling does tend to get in the way.Meantime, I have been doing my physical therapy, reading, taking care of as much of the house stuff as I can- and I can even wash dishes with ONE hand!! - and bake banana bread! Looks pretty good for left handed banana bread huh? I've gone through a couple of recipes now and this one is my favorite so far. It's from my grandmas recipe file.
Before I had the surgery I was able to get my 365 journal quilt all together~!!! I wanted to get the rows sewn so I could take it down off my design wall while I was recuperating since I'm not allowed to sew or use my rotary cutter. I pictured myself coming up with tons of great ideas on my design wall with all my orphan and un-finished blocks.I did a bit of that and I'll post about those in the next few days.
Meanwhile here is the 365 baby.I think I'm going to have to just ditch it for the quilting so that I don't lose any of the writing.
It was kind of fun, and I learned something interesting when I was reading it! 2 summers ago I mentioned that my shoulders were hurting after going kayaking! hmmm, guess this has been coming on for a while huh?
No apologies neccessary for not blogging...c'mon you are rehabilitating, right? [can't say I didn't miss you tho'!]
ReplyDeleteI hope you are full force soon :)
That quilt? Has to be one of the most amazing things I have ever seen. Seriously.
It inspires me for special quilts, but I give you huge kudos, applause and hugs for completing the top. WOW.
Take care and get better soon!

ReplyDeleteI can't believe you can make banana bread one handed. You are a woman of many hidden talents! Get well soon :)
ReplyDeleteTake good care of yourself and heal up quick!
ReplyDeleteCongrats on piecing the 365 together...inspiring for me to see, since mine is still in pieces!
Oh, now I really feel bad. The 365 quilt was the first quilt I bought material to make and never made! My goodness, I've gone to heck in a handbasket, that's for sure. Thanks for posting your finished top so that it could renew my sense of remorse... afterall, what are friends for?
ReplyDeleteTake care of yourself and get better soon - we'll all still be here!
