I am waiting on a surgery date so I better get going on this wall hanging. I am not sure how long recovery was but a friend, who went through something similar, already gave me the heads up I would not be permitted to do stairs for over 2 weeks and my studio is upstairs. I have something in mind. As for Holiday themes, it is good to remember not all of us do all Holidays or in the same way. As cute as Holiday quilts are, our family does not do Santa, Easter bunnies and Halloween.
