Time for Surgery

I'm having a little minor shoulder surgery tomorrow so I'm likely not going to be posting for a bit because there won't be much sewing going on. But ever the optimist that I am I have a couple of projects cut out in the hope that I may be able to do some sewing. The shoulder problem is one that has been bugging me for a while so I'll be glad to be done with it and move on to physical therapy and a shoulder that doesn't hurt.
First up is some Lumiere de Noel fabric and this is a little table topper all ready to sew together. I also have a table runner cut out. I love this fabirc.

This is Arnold's Attic which I cut into strips. This is going to be a small quilt for fall.

And this is a package that I won in a giveaway from Wendy at Snippets of a Quilter, all the way from British Columbia. There's a pattern and fabric for a tote bag, a quilt pattern, some post it notes and flags, and that turquoise fabric came wrapped in that candy wrapper. How cute! I thought it was a caramel or something so I ripped it open only to be surprised by the fabric. Very clever idea. Thanks Wendy! So be back soon.

  4. Having spent a year and a half recovering from a torn rotator cuff, I am more than aware of how painful and inconvenient shoulder problems can be. My prayers go out to you for a sucessful surgery and a speedy recovery.

  10. Hi friends--hopping by to say how I adore the work my sister Chris does, and to let anyone who visits know that she came through the surgery just fine but with a bit more than she bargained for. She expected a small repair of one thing and to wake up in a sling that would be on for a couple of weeks. Instead, she woke to find herself encased in a major shoulder/arm piece of hardware, as the surgeon found some rotator cuff damage that needed to be fixed while he was in there, and so the surgery was a lot more than anticipated. The surgeon had mentioned that as a possibility, but Chris had gone in optimistic, fully expecting the minimal amount of surgery. It was all done athroscopicaly, but is still alot of fixing. When I spoke to her she was still numb in her arm and hand from the nerve block, so that wasn't a problem, but her spirit was thrown for a bit of a loop by the limitations and length of recovery she now faces. This repair is, of course, on her right side and she is right-handed.

  13. Hi, I saw your comment on Brenda's Cozy Little House and stopped by to visit you (and follow). I can't imagine that kind of snow in April (we live in Virginia) but you do have all those gorgeous quilts to keep you warm :) Nice to meet you and I'll stop by again to chat.

I pray that risen from the dead,
In glory I will stand,
A crown perhaps upon my head,
And a needle in my hand.
