I'm so sorry about your fall. I hope your healing is uneventful. This might be a great time to try handwork as it would allow you to keep both feet elevated.

Cheers, K

I am so sorry to hear that that happened to you! I hope you will soon be up and around and having fun!!

I am so sorry about your ankle. Will certainly keep you in my thoughts & prayers for a speedy recovery. As mentioned earlier, this will be a good time to do a lot of reading, quilt planning, and hanging out here. A friend fell 3 wks ago & shattered her ankle in 4 places. Surgery was required & she will be totally off of her foot for at least 6 more wks before they will put a walking cast on. Seems a lot of broken bones are occurring this Summer. Take Care & be patient. Don't rush things. {{{{{HUGE HUGS}}}}}

Quilting can wait. You just rest and heal, then you can go to town and start quilting again

I love your attitude. I bet you get a lot of handwork done. Do you hand quilt or applique?
I might be doing both. I managed a binding on a quilt yesterday.
