Had storms last evening that brought in the cool front. So all things outside are wet and soggy.
DH really needs to cut grass so hope dries off enough to do some later today and tomorrow.
Been as busy here as I can be on the 'do not do much' dr orders.
I sit on my donut to sew and then do not stand too long or sit too long.
No lifting more then a few pounds.
After the pain from lifting laundry basket I am rather careful!
Begin PT Monday 3x a week. On pain meds still but take less.
Hope the PT works if not next step epidural.
Made up these feed sack blocks, on About.com Quilting.
Had a gift in mind for someone. Had to go ahead and send other things. I was behind in the sewing.
Will finish up and use it here. Not sure how I will proceed. Was intended for a lap quilt.
I have pressed and trimmed up all the blocks. Need to decide on lay out.
These were bonus pieces left over.
The rest of the feed sack and 30's prints I have will go into a simple patchwork block quilt.
I won most of these fabrics in a long ago give away.
Ready to do some none bias sewing again! Whew!!
I finished up all the Pennsylvania Square blocks I had planned to do. Doing a trim on them now.
There is a Sew Along hosted by Terry on her blog.
Not sure how much more sewing will get done around here for next few weeks with the PT 3 days a week! Sure will be wore out for a few.
Do hope after the first couple appts my body will be used to it and so maybe not so tired.
Okay off to sew those bitty pinwheels up!
For the folks in VA and NC enjoy this beautiful weekend!!!
Good to hear that you are following doctor's orders! Keep it up and you'll be feeling better in no time!
ReplyDeletePleased you are on the road to recovery..
ReplyDeleteLove the quilt top you have been working.
It's awful to have to take it easy, but I am glad to hear you are listening to the doctor.
ReplyDeleteLove the blocks!!! I have always been taken by the feedsack fabrics.
Ahhh--me is sad that you are 'under' the weather as they say--pain is not fun--especially when in the back!!!
ReplyDeletelove your blocks-keep going even if at a slow pace--and talking about slow paces--that has been me since May!!!!
My speed is 0-25 I think!!!
love, di and miss gracie
Hugs, sweetie. Please take it easy. Not much sewing going on here. With my brother visiting, there is constant supervision needed. Not worth dragging it out for all the interruptions.
ReplyDeleteThoughts with you dear friend! Wasn't today's weather wonderful! It's about time!
ReplyDeleteSo happy to hear you are getting some cooler weather and feeling a bit better. Keep up the good work with following doctor's orders and good luck with your PT.
ReplyDeleteYour feedsack pinwheel blocks are adorable, can't wait to see them all together.
Take care!
Love love those blocks!!
ReplyDeleteMy dear it was good for me to read your post. I too am dealing with back issues and that is why this flood thing has humbled me so. You know what it is like when you can't lift or do much because of the pain. Please be careful on the pain meds. Doctors got me hooked on those and it took 6 months of pure you know what to get off of them. I hope an epidural will help you! Sending love and understanding your way!
ReplyDeleteMe likes your blocks!! Very pretty. Be a good little patient!
ReplyDeleteSweet 30's look blocks. I do not have any 30's reproduction fabrics. I used to and used many for donation baby quilts and just never replaced them after using.
ReplyDeleteNice use of your feedsacks. I'm getting inspiration as I just acquired a stack of them recently, and need ideas.
ReplyDeleteI hope you feel better soon ~
