I'm not currently working on a project as I had rotator cuff surgery, and my left arm is still somewhat "unusable"!
OUCH! So sorry to hear about your surgery, I hope you get to feeling better soon!
My mom also didn't quilt but she did a number of other things, mostly embroidery work, but sewing wasn't her thing.
