Busy Week!

runner-up

another of my quilts

It has been a busy 7 days. Medical interview for an aging parent, quilt show this past weekend and eye surgery two days ago. Nothing like getting it all done at once.

The quilt show in the barn was another success. We raised just over $2000 for a charity that is building a much needed hospice in our area and also with this draw we donated $1000 to our guild's charity group to continue to make quilts for those in need in our area. My best news from the weekend was one of my quilts was runner-up for the viewer's choice. No prize for that but it is great to know that scrappy quilts can still win something!

After a busy weekend working at the quilt show, I just barely caught my breath and early Monday morning into surgery I went for a cataract removal. At 54 years old, I figure I am young for this...well looking also at the others getting it done that morning you would have thought I was in the wrong place for sure! I had other surgery on my eye 11 years ago and that may have hastened the cataract growth. For now everything is great and I continue with the daily eye drops to ward off infection and inflammation.

You have to know there's a story, naughty parrot

Tuesday dawned with me wanting to do more than sit quietly or sleep and rest. So I dug out some knitting as hand sewing like hexies was out of the question just yet! I did manage to  finish the hand quilting on a quilt and today I have put the binding on it. So I will be able to stitch that down and have my last of 5 UFO ready for our year end banquet!!

I am hoping for continued good recovery and back to quilting and sewing!!
