It has been six weeks since my shoulder surgery. About a week into the surgery, I started being restless.
As much as I would like to call myself ambidextrous, pressing and cutting the fabrics is not fun when I use my left hand. So I had to wait and be the good girl, listen to the therapists and follow the plan!
Those of you who have had to stay away from creative process know how difficult this waiting game can be!
Scraps from Zigzag 40" X 45"
Leftover scraps from the quilt, "Gridlock" 40" X 48"
It feels good that I have used up most of those leftover squares. Now I can make more! Hopefully, of different colors! Having finished some of the quilts just before the surgery, now I have enough confidence to machine quilt and find them good homes.
As far as the shoulder goes, you can see that it is recovering surprisingly well!
Thank you all for your emails and notes, comments and well wishes on my previous post. It is good to be back. I have missed being here and staying connected!
take it slowly! great quilts!
ReplyDeleteHello Sujata, it's so lovely to hear your well and back sewing beautiful quilts again!!
ReplyDeleteLook at you go girl. It is great to see you back at it, and back at it so beautifully.
ReplyDeleteIt's so nice to see your new work! You are back with renewed inspiration. I love how you have used simple shapes to great effect with color and pattern.
ReplyDeleteIt's good to see you back! :)
ReplyDeleteIt's so hard trying to keep your mind busy and content when you are supposed to be resting and recouperating!
Your little quilts are so cheerful. They're sure to make some child very happy.
Real live scraps and they go together so well. Good luck with your shoulder. Ditto the above advice. Take it easy so you rehabilitate well.
ReplyDeleteWelcome back... Many people you know will fake having a baby to receive one of these beauties!!!
ReplyDeleteSuch great quilts from simple shapes. It must feel good to be back sewing, but take it easy until you are fully healed.
ReplyDeleteHappy to hear you are on the mend. Maybe hand-work will be less taxing on the shoulder? I love your big-stitch projects!!!
ReplyDeleteI've missed you! So glad you are doing better!!
ReplyDeleteI hiope you continue to improve and it sounds like you've had to learn to be patient. The tops are a great use of leftovers, the babies will be covered in lovely quilts.
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad I clicked on your "my other blog" button to transport here!
ReplyDeleteThe quilts are just lovely, I especially like the results of your Zigzag scraps.

It must have been impossible these last few weeks. Being nearly better is bad because you just want to do a bit more and it hurts.
ReplyDeleteLooks like you are getting there though. I've missed your posts.
Very glad you are back in blog land!
