Your sewing will be there when you're able, in the meantime, do your daily PT and read,nap and watch TV, take your pain pills on time(much less pain that way).
Don't try to do much of anything else.. in 6 months to a year you'll be good as new. Can you tell I've been in your
shoes twice now? :oops:

Since I have not learned yet how to say no, I am FMQ the 1st of 4 quilts requested by my neighbor. Two are Xmas presents for her GDs and I have the second top done except for the borders. Went to our local quilt show this weekend and bought a kit with a golfing theme - want to do that quilt for my son for Xmas. Plus, too many UFOs to mention but at least I have choices if I get bored doing one thing!!!! LOL!!!

I am taking some classes online and I'll have to do that until bedtime.
Anyone sewing tomorrow? (I have to work.) I hope to have sewing plans for the weekend, so I will have to get going in the house! My plans are---
to buy a crazy quilt book from Amazon this week, to make a friend a crazy quilt. Next weekend, I'd like to make 9 treat bags for my 9 Grands! Six boys and thre girls! I am itching to make some fabric post cards. Anyone else make these?
Sorry to have talked for so long! Happy sewing everyone!

Not sure if you were mentioning my list, but the answer is, nope. I got a chance to be the "sibling representative" and give plenty of input into another sibling's potential car purchase, which our parents are purchasing for him. So, nothing really productive done in regards to the quilting. I did, however, get the Calculus studying done, along with the not quilting part at the end. And, I just bought a sewing table, which will delay my project a bit more. So, after assembling that, I won't have a drafting table for a sewing machine table that "dances" with the sewing machine's rhythm. But, well worth the time. :XD:

All this "just to noon?". Oh my goodness. My goal is to work on the quilt I am making now. Getting close to finishing. I deserve to just sit after cleaning out the garage and washing my car yesterday, and then mowing the lawn today! I think the sewing is calling my name.

today I will spend the morning cleaning and doing laundry, and the afternoon in my sewing nook. Cutting fabric for my mom's signature quilt. Did quite a bit yesterday but am now second guessing my color choices...

I've seen QFK in a couple of postings...what does that stand for?

Quilts for Kids; an organization that gives them out to children with life threatening diseases, cancer etc. It was started here in PA and is now nationwide. Downy and many large fabric companies supply the fabric, we just sew them, and also make quilts from our stashes. Log onto http:/www.quiltsforkids.org and read about it.

Wow!! I haven't read through all of the posts on this thread, but already I know that I need to get up from here and get started. TODAY IS MY DAY. I"m going to the LQS which is 30 miles away to pick up a new book and fabrics for our quilting group's BOM for this year. (We began our year in September. I have no Civil War fabrics in my stash so I get to go shopping. Woohoo!
