Hello Quilters I had my other eye surgery done this one was a bit different and I cannot see as well as the first eye when it was done. I have been long arm quilting and I will be calling a couple of you soon. My husband is home all week and he's working local so I can't do anything until he gets home because i cannot see the thread or thread a needle if it breaks so its been slowed down just a bit but again they are getting finished. i will be so glad when the swelling going down and i can get my new glasses!

Well my eye has some swelling and i have to go back to the doctor it’s like a nerve pain you couldn’t imagine. It started Monday night and got worse yesterday with light sensitivity i went to guild noticed the light was bothering me coming through the window luckily i had sunglasses. Came home called the doctor and got an appointment. did manage to finish some of the appliqué flowers. This is just a rough idea of what i’m doing. I can only sew early morning or late because the light has bothered me so much. I have to take it easy until i see the doctor Friday hopefully it’s just me over doing it as usual. Orders to rest until Friday

I have had my cataract surgery and everything went great although I’m not able to lift anything for a week so I did sit down and start drawing to figure out what I was going to do on the tulip quilt and I have figured it out so hopefully I’ll be showing you that soon. I also went downstairs to find another UFO that I have been working on now this UFO I had to purchase some blue fabric well when I brought the fabric upstairs it is not blue. It is black 6 yards and now I’m upset because I had the shop owner help me so I’m guessing maybe we both have bad eyes but this fabric is not blue. It is black but I can use it for the tulip quilt so that’s OK. I also found patterns for the appliqué for the purple and green quilt. The quilt that I was long arming is halfway done and I expect to get to it this weekend and to finish it and then I will be putting my Bible quilt back on my long arm as that is halfway finished and I want to get that done. It feels good to get UFOs finished, but I am very anxious to get onto some new projects too, but I’m being good and I’m going to finish my UFOs first. Happy Quilting.
