Post and Pain and Potluck covers

Here is the picture of the original jelly roll top that I cut up for the four smaller quilt tops I just finished..posted the last few times..  I made this June, a year ago, when I was in the nursing home recovering from my first replacement surgery.. Jelly Roll Race Tutorial from Missouri Star
, I got a grip tonight...and from a sitting position, I cut pot-luck cover tops
 (tute on  my blog)
and rip-stop backings...all ready for sewing when I feel like it.
Sewing of course with my left foot.
Once they are sewn, another sit down project will be threading the elastic.
After these, I will start on the plastic grocery bag holders for the pantry.
Teachers should like those. Then maybe the tissue covers and the hand warmers..
Then the potholders...I am ready in mind, when the body says GO!


Praying for strength as I await my fourth operation in 14 months...My right hip has deteriorated so badly and so quickly  that I now need a cane in the house.
I am in so much pain, which brings me to tears..
 I am afraid I will fall.and ruin my new shoulder...
Complete hip replacement surgery scheduled for August 7, but I am so trying to get a cancellation to have it earlier.
I never thought I would be eager for an operation.  Crazy life. 
I called  the surgeon's PA...but all she told me was to rest.and take meds as prescribed ....
To stay off my feet...OMG..quite discouraging..
I can only sleep downstairs in my recliner...
So, there I am...Old Grandma O'Quilts with two cats and a dog..doing the best I can.
My son came by yesterday..  He has just started Methadone again and feels a bit better.
He did some repairs around the house and spent nice time with his children.
I was so happy to be with him.

My friends are all again on vacation and carrying on with their lives...as it should be...
No one can do anything for me anyway...
So, I have taken to writing letters to my dear man, online 
It is helpful!!!!
 Because I know he would understand and love me so.
He would let me whine and just give me a hug..
