Last ones (so far) of my pouches
 
5 Attachment(s)
Well my Christmas sewing has been stopped dead in it’s track 😩😩😩 That’s how quick something can happen nobody even dreamed of 😳
Lost sight in my left eye 2 weeks before Christmas due to the retina detaching itself 😱 In the meantime had emergency surgery and I’m back home but with a very blurry sight 🥺 so now it means keeping quiet and being patient and hoping and praying my sight gets back to normal soon 🤩 When I’m not too tired I still love seeing all your projects and I sure hope I can show you some of mine again soon 😁
You all have a very happy and healthy New Year 😍😍😍
Well these were the last pouches i made before my mishap, the ladies at church will get them as a new year’s gift as i haven’t been able to go back since my sight is still too blurry 🙁 I also added a little prayer pocket quilt in each of them (haven’t made pictures of them yet) 😉 The last pouch is for our youngest one at church, 4 year old Ivy ❤️

Very sweet gifts - I’m sure your ladies will appreciate them.

I hope you make a full recovery on your retina. I’ve known a couple of people who had that and were able to make it back to full sight!

Wow! Sorry to hear bout your vision! Hope you make a full and fast recovery.

Scary about your retina. Hope you get clear vision back Quickly!

The pouches are adorable! How many have you made altogether?

How is it decided who gets which one?

Probably I would have made abt 30 so far 😉 and i usually have someone in mind when preparing them, going from what i know abt the person (colour preferences- i watch what sort of colour they tend to wear - if they’re older or young - modern taste or more classical, etc.) 😁

I am so sorry to hear about your eye. I hope you recover quickly. Your purses are just darling. Really cute. Happy new year to you.

Your pouches are wonderful! But I'm so sorry to hear about your eye. I hope the retina heals and you can get back to sewing and quilting!

So sorry to hear about the retina incident and pray for a full recovery. Your bags will give the ladies a piece of your love and is such a nice and thoughtful gesture. I, too, give little prayer quilts to my friends and insert them in sympathy cards or notes.

Gorgeous, I really like everyone of them.

I hope your eyesight returns very soon.

You are so talented. I pray you will be back to sewing soon. I love the pouch for Ivy. :)

First of all these are beautiful! You have been doing a great job on these all along.
I am so sorry to hear about the detached retina. I had this happen a couple years ago as well as the visceral fluid was leaking out of my eye. Like you emergency surgery. Now I have regained the majority of my vision back except for a blind spot where they had to close up the eye in the back of the retina. A double whammy. The detached retina was repaired and I gained as much of my vision as was possible. I just saw the Retinaologist on Monday of this week and everything looked great the detached retina healed perfect and has remained attached and no more leaking., Now I don't have to see him for another year. I am sure you will do fine. In the beginning is is a bit frustrating is all.

I am so sorry to hear of your vision issues. Will hope and pray that you get your vision back to normal. Our vision is one of our senses that I think us as quilters/sewers rely on.
Love your pouches-they are all beautiful and I especially love the one for the youngest child. She will love it.

Such cute pouches! I also hope you make a full recovery from your surgery and regain your sight. Scary.
