Thread: Recuperation

Now is the time to stock up on reading material and hand sewing supplies. I love to do hand work but I need to switch it up so I don't get bored. My favourite thing would be a redwork project. I would either find a red work panel, there are some nice preprinted ones you can buy or trace out some blocks to have ready. Get all your supplies ready in a nice sewing basket you can keep by your chair. Fix up a good lamp and magyfying glass in your spot(Walmart has some nice ones in my sewing/lamp aisle) When I was layed up with my shoulder I loved my Ipad to keep in touch with QB and friends.

How about hexies. You could always, for a change of pace, do some embroidery/folding/redwork/embellishment in the centre of each flower. Or do a folded variation.

Good luck with the operation and recuperation.

Thanks very one. As this is the second time this year it is more difficult as he reading etc was last time.applique sounds interesting.

start a small size crazy quilt (pillow size maybe) and during your recuperation do the embroidery work on it?

Pattie what a good idea. I must have some hexagons ready to work with already cut out. Find them before I go in. Living on your own all problems must be organised before I go in so again you are all stimulating the old grey cells. This board is excellent for that

I see lots of great suggestions. I hope you recovery quickly and are back machine quilting soon. Best of luck on your surgery.
