I feel like I turned the corner yesterday. I hope the worst days are over now. I did not take any pain medication in the day time, though I was certainly not pain free. I was able to sleep on my side last night for the first time. When you are not a back sleeper, having to lay on my back so much has been hard to deal with. I still am not allowed to bend or twist and still am in a back brace when out of bed. The brace drives me nuts! There are lots of things I cannot do for myself but that will come with time.
I finished stitching the first wool block a couple days ago and am sharing that with you today.
This was just a quick photo taken on my bed. I am using cotton thread to stitch the wool parts to the cotton background fabric. Lots of blocks left to stitch. I will not be setting the world on fire with fast stitching for a while yet. I am just happy to be able to start getting back into some kind of sewing.
Thank you so much for so many well wishes. It means a lot to me to receive so many nice e-mails. And the packages with magazines, patterns, handmade items, etc. have been such a treat. I hate days when all the mailman brings is advertising or a bill! I did a little online shopping and am waiting on packages to arrive. I can't get out to a quilt shop or show but I can still shop from home!
Have a great day and come back soon.
