Pieced, but not quilted
 

I've been out of commission for awhile; last Sept. I fell in my backyard (tripped over a tomato cage), and tore my right rotator cuff in two places. I finally went to the dr. and had surgery on it in Dec. I was in a sling for 6 weeks, couldn't even drive! ( DH and I did many things together that we hadn't done in years! Like grocery shopping, running errands, etc) Anyway, I'm in physical therapy now, and they still won't let me FMQ, but I can piece. So now I've got 6 quilt tops finished, ready to quilt.

This is the first one I did.

Pieced, but not quilted, #2
 

Here is another top waiting for the dr.'s OK to start FMQ.

Very nice quilt ............. you can do so much with HST - glad you are doing better.

Beautiful work!!!!!! So sorry about your injury but glad to hear you are on the mend!!!! Hopfully you will be able to FMQ before to long!!!!

Glad you are better. Don't over do it using your arm. Your quilt is very nice. I love the colors.

So glad you are on the mend and back to sewing love the fabrics and nice job on all the HST's :)

Both are beautiful, praying for a speedy recovery.

They are both beautiful. Hopefully your recovery progresses well and you can get back to FMQ

Both are great. The first is so crisp and pretty, love it, may have to put on my to do list. Glad you are on the mend.

Both are awesome! Hoping for quick recovery! Watch out for those tomato cages!

Love the quilts! I know of 4 people just in my church that have had that surgery since Dec. i hope your rehab goes well and you can get back to quilting.

glad you are on the mend and able to piece again-it is torture to not be able to create.

Wonderful quilts. I particularly like the first. Had no idea simple hst could be arranged so intricately. Really, really nice -- especially the borders.

Glad you're on the mend! Both are beautiful!

You can't keep a good quilting woman down! Nice!

Glad that you are on the mend. Your tops are terrific!

Both are outstanding. I especially like the first one -- so fresh and crisp looking!

Both look great!

They are very pretty. Maybe you can soon get them finished. We must do what the doctor says, you know. Good luck with your recovery.

both are very nice

Wow you have been busy

Oh my gosh!!! Your quilts are so very pretty. I can't do anything as pretty as those with both shoulders working! Do hope you are able to mend quickly as get them quilted.

Thank you all so much for your kind words. Yes, it was extremely difficult for me, being in a cast for 6 weeks- I was bored out of my mind. I looked at books and magazines, and have about 3 years worth of quilts planned! Lol! I made lists, bought fabric online, made more lists, thought about quilts and fabric constantly. I am truly a quilting addict.

Very nice work!!

Very pretty. Get better soon.

Would love to see your four other quilts.

well I wondered what had happened to # 1 and #2! I saw 3 & 4 and knew I would like these as well.
These are all great!

Bless your heart! The quilt tops are wonderful and I cannot wait to see them quilted and complete. Here's wishing you a speedy recovery!

I love the brightness of this one. Great job!
