I’m hoping that you all haven’t completely forgotten about me. Although, it wouldn’t surprise me. I have been MIA since July. Yikes…I don’t think I realized it had actually been that long. I’m not gonna lie, my surgery was pretty frustrating. My recovery took forever and included 7 weeks of physical therapy. My therapy ended last Friday and I’m finally a fully functioning human being again. Whew! I was pretty worried for awhile.
I apologize for the long absence but I didn’t have much to say. I was pretty down in the dumps and I most definitely wasn’t sewing or quilting. So, I took a break….a long break. But, I’m back!
I’ve been quilting. A lot. And I have lots to share. I have a few pictures of my second Texas Teardrops quilt to share now. I still need to bind it and I need better pictures of the whole quilt. I’m waiting for decent weather so I can take it outside. We’ve had lots of rain which is great but it puts a crimp in my outdoor pictures. I’ll share more pictures and details as soon as I get better pictures.
In closing, I do hope you all will find your way back to my blog. I sure do miss all of you. And thanks to all of you who sent me notes asking if everything was ok. I just needed a little down time, mentally and physically.
Taking the last three months off has given me lots of time to think. Scary, I know. I have some changes in mind for the blog like focusing more on my quilting. I’ll still have tutorials and random other things but I really feel like quilting is starting to call my name in a rather loud way. It feels like it’s time to narrow my focus a little.
Hugs!
I am so happy you are back my friend!!!
Welcome back! I think taking time off to really get better was just what you needed. No apologies. I’m still here and glad you are too!
Hey….. I remember you :^) Glad you’re feeling better.
Good to see you back! Hope you’re feeling better!
Welcome back Vicki — and glad to hear that you’re doing better! Taking a break isn’t such a bad idea as sometimes we push ourselves much too hard.
The quilting on your TT is just awesome! WOW… I can see that quilting calling your name is a good thing.
Happy to have you back,
Karen on Keuka
Time away isn’t a bad thing at all if it helped you rejuvenate and refocus what you want to do. The quilting is just gorgeous.
Welcome back. Glad you are feeling so much better.

I am so glad you are back! I love the quilting on your Texas Tear Drop. Can’t wait to see the whole thing and can’t wait to see more of your quilting in the future too. Are you still going to keep frugal Friday’s? I love snatching up some new fabric every now and again. 🙂

I almost wrote to you a couple weeks ago to find out how you were feeling. You beat me to it. 🙂 Glad you’re back! I started on my TT quilt that I cut out when you had the sew along. Too bad I didn’t read the instructions again. I screwed up…but it’s going to turn out great. I’ll send a pic when it’s sewn together. Again, glad you’ve recovered.
