So far December has been a wild ride around here. Bill had surgery a
couple of weeks ago and the day after he got out of the hospital, I
fell and broke my ankle. Bill is healing slowly, but it will be January
before he's back to his old self. I'll be in a cast for at least 12
weeks. Oy, oy.
It's not exactly what we had hoped
for since our two sons and Bill's sister will arrive soon for the
holidays, but we're making lemonade out of lemons! We're both nicely
rested up for visitors, and friends have been wonderfully kind and
helpful.
Joyce,
Marybeth and Mary Ann have been running Sewcial Studio when Bill can't
be there. Next week I hope to be able to work in the shop again with a
handsome chauffeur to get me there. (Right ankle = no driving)
I've been able to do a little work on the quilt book I'm writing, and I'm working on this store sample project at home...
The
magazine is the first or second issue of Generation Q, and this is a
lovely, modern baby quilt (photo on right page of mag.). I'm using a
mini-Tonga set of 5" batik squares and a light taupe background fabric
from Northcott.
Earlier this month, Marybeth and I
handed over an indigo commission quilt that we worked on together. This
photo was taken before it was quilted...
The indigo colors are much prettier in person.
All the best to you and yours during this holiday season. May you be rested and may your home be warmed by friends and family.

Oh, no...I really feel for you as I broke my rt. ankle June of 2010. It is definitely not easy but little by little it gets better, never the same but better. Hope you have good healing and gain your movement back when you can start doing PT.
Merry Christmas to you and don't worry about anything but just enjoy being together.
