Sorry for u. Read a great quilt mystery or magazine or search on the web for ideas, take care of yourself.

I would look through books and magazines and plan the next project, it will be something to look forward to.

Do you have anyone to help you? Pajamas can get pretty old, fast. Organizing fabric was a thought, but how about some sorting in drawers and closets? I always feel better when I have "detrashed" something. Just remember to take care of you. Might be a time for some of those bubble baths that we all dream about.

I like DebraK's idea, design shop design!

When I broke both bones in my right wrist and then had to have surgery on it a couple of weeks later, I was losing my mind! Couldn't work and couldn't sew for 2 1/2 months. I drew quilts on graph paper (no EQ, but graph paper has always been my best friend) and cross stitched some quilt labels with my left hand. Organized and chose fabrics for the drawings. Lost my job and went to PT. And couldn't even open a can of tuna. My thoughts are with you. Putting together combinations of scraps and pieces from your stash might brighten your day for a while. Get better soon!

there are some good sewing and quilting videos on U-tube you might watch. Also pbs online. I like to browse Antiques Roadshow. sometimes they have really old or different quilts on there! Watching isn't sewing I know but better than the walls or ceiling.
Also have you tried electric scissors? I draw my pattern on the fabric then just buzz along the lines. Not as good as rotary cutting but better than nothing sometimes. |
This forum, Google and Youtube. Get better soon and take care of yourself.

Sounds like now would be a good time to get in some practice using and strengthening that left hand! That's what I had to do when I broke my right hand years ago. Discovered that eventually I was pretty good with a lot of things with my 'off' hand. Signing my name was, shall we say 'interesting' however. LOL!
Here's hoping your hand/wrist heals quickly. |

He won't cut quilt pieces so I can sew them though :( |

I fell ice skating Saturday which sprained my right wrist terribly. I cannot use my right hand at all.
This ruined my quilting weekend. Can you think of any quilty things I can do? I thought about reorganizing my thread collection. Maybe sew together charm squares into a simple top? (I can't press though) Any ideas? It is bad enough I can't ice skate for awhile, but when I realized I also can't quilt- UGH! |
