Prepare a project in advance..cut your quilt pieces, cut applique pieces, etc. and stack in order in basket beside your chair. Then do applique blocks, hand sew quilt blocks, embroider, etc. Gather your photos and get a new album--organize your pictures. Buy a journal and keep record of your activity and improvement. Make lists of quilts & projects you want to accomplish afterwards. Do you have a laptop/iPad & wireless printer? You can 'surf' and print off projects for later. Or just visit the QB and keep us up to date with your progress! Gather some good books, puzzles, pens and paper--write to old friends or family you haven't seen in a while. Watch movies on TV or VCR, or DVD...you will find your days flying by! Best of luck and speedy recovery. Hugs from all of us here on the board.
