This thread sure hits home! Normally I'm sewing like mad trying to get items done for Christmas--but right now I'm laying on the sofa, knee iced and on painkillers. Had a full knee replacement this past Monday and am working hard, and praying hard, that in another week I can at least be using the DSM to piece. My goal is to get back on the long arm (at least short bursts) by mid-Dec. Probably little optimistic.
My DH mailed 2 quilts and a tree skirt to my sister's today for her and her kids families---have a tree skirt for daughter (needs binding) and tablerunners for SMIL and DS's family to quilt and bind--hopefully all before Christmas!
Knee seems to be more stiff,swollen and painful than the other one 4years ago! Darn!
