New project while recouperating from surgery
 

At the young age of 48 I have to have a full hystorectomy because I have a 7mm mass on one of my ovaries... So with that said I decided to get together some hand sewing together for while I am bed bound to work on. I have always wanted to do the Sunbonnet Sue quilt and since I now have a 1 year old granddaughter I am going to make her one.

Sorry I could only get one picture to upload, there are six squares in all.

Beautiful block! Hope you feel better soon. I was 42 when I had my hysterectomy. I have done well after recovering from the surgery.

So cute!! Hope you have a speedy recovery. I've been there and done that too. so, I know what you are going through! Take it easy and don't overdo. But get up and walk!!!!

Wish you a speedy and complete recovery. Sunbonnet Sues are great quilts. You will enjoy making one.

Your Sunbonnet Sue is beautiful, have a speedy recovery!

Cute block. Prayers for a speedy recovery.

Wishing you a speedy recovery. They are right about getting up and walking. Less chance of getting blood clots and you do not want to ever have a blood clot if you can help it. Love your Sun Bonnet Sue. How many are you planning on makeing for granddaughter's quilt?

Get better real soon, and enjoy your recovery time.
Love Sunbonnet Sue .

Wishing you a speedy recovery- I was 31 when I had a full hysterectomy. Take a small walk everyday-helps get your strength back.

Nice block. Wishing you a speedy recovery.

prayers to you you sb is darling

I love Sunbonnet Sue and yours is adorable. I had my hysterectomy done at 23 for ovarian cancer, and my daughter had hers done last week at 34. Live goes on. Be kind to yourself and don't forget those daily walks...the first few steps are the hardest. Wishing you a speedy recovery.

I love this pattern and always will. I wish you a speedy recovery and God bless.

I was 30 when I had my full hyst. just take it day by day and little steps. I love your SunBonnet Sue she is adorable.

Wishing you a strong, healthy recovery.

Prayers for your recovery. Your block is very pretty and I am sure the GD is going to love her special quilt.

Adorable! Prayers to you for a speedy recovery.

I will look forward to seeing pictures of the finished quilt. I had my surgery when I was in my 30's. Just take it easy.

Hope for a speeedy recovery....Like sunbonnet sue patterns.

Wishing you a speedy recovery...I love the dress on this Sue!

I had my hysterectomy in August. It was a full hysterectomy becauseit included the ovaries. I spent one night in the hospital and came home the next day. My OB did it robotically! I have five 1" scars on my tummy in the shape of a frown. I was on pain medication for 3 days and back to work in a week and a half. I was amazed at the recovery. I feel great - no complications. You should ask about robot surgery. It was done with the DaVinci robot. There is a website. I read all about it.
I hope yours goes as well as mine did. Good luck and God bless.

Good job, relax and take time to heal, everyone needs to be treated like a queen after they have surgery

WOW! I am amazed at how young alot of you are that have already had this surgery. Thank you for your words of encouragement and your advice I will definately use it.

For those who asked I am doing six SB blocks with different dress colors. I have not decided whether to make squares to border the blocks or strips. The frame fabric will be the same as the dress. That is about as far as I have gotten on the design.

Nice project! Healthy recovery!!

Good luck and good thing you have hand sewing to do!
I was 34 and had a very large incision across my abdomen. I thought I would be able to sew no problems, HA, boy was I wrong!!! I didn't have any hand sewing to do and about drove myself crazy thinking of all the things I could be doing with 6 weeks off of work!!!!

I wish you a speedy recovery and you will feel better working on that precious quilt. I did mine at 52 and it was the best thing I ever did. Hallelujah, no more monthly stuff to deal with - oh how great !!!! Your little gran daughter will love her quilt. Thank you for sharing and enjoy your quilting time recuperating.

That is adorable. Can't wait to see the finished one. Please post.
Hope your recovery is quick and you will be up and around soon.

Hope you are up and moving soon! Your Sue's look great! I need to start on my daughter's soon, but since she is trying to set her wedding date for the fall, I'm busy with that....after the wedding maybe I'll get to it!!!

Wishing you a very speedy recovery! Your SBS is adorable and look forward to seeing the others!

The ladies are right get up and walk a little you don't want clots believe me. I was going to make my GD a Sunbonnet Sue when she was little & never did now she's 18 & probably doesn't want one so do it. Get well too.

Idle hands are the work of the devil. Good to see you area able to do this project without heavy lifting. You wil be feeling better very soon.

Prayers are on your way for a speedy recovery. Take care of yourself. Love the Sunbonnet Sue - we have grand cats instead of babies. Oh well .....

God speed heal fast and quilt for love.

Hope you feel better real soon. Love the sun bonnet sue, any little girl would love them.

I had that when I was 46, was treated prior to surgery - was 30 years ago this month. Keep trying to walk a little each day around the house and you will soon be as good as new.

I had one at 35 many years ago. Something to keep in mind. Take it easy and do what the doctor says. I started feeling better and started doing too much and it extended my recovery time. Just be patient and take it slow.

Those blocks will be good for your recovery time. Take it easy, but not too easy. The worst part of the surgery is over for you. I had mine many years ago, and wouldn't go back for anything.

Praying for a quick and complete recovery for you. Your SS block is cute~

Love you Suebonnet. Best wishes for a speedy recovery. What a blessing that they were able to find the mass on your ovaries. I hear it is hard to detect problems in that area.

My daughter had hers last week...the
new way 3 little incisions. She was up about in 3 days just don't lift.
good luck and dowhat they tell you

Hope you have a full and speedy recovery...very pretty block.
