This past week I spent taking it easy after cataract surgery on my left eye last Wednesday. My eyesight has improved dramatically. Thank you for all your well wishes and encouragement. You were right - it was easy and pain-free. There is bruising beneath my eye (my husband called it a shiner - lol!) from injections for stent placement, so I look worse than I feel! Surgery on the right eye is next week. Now that I know what to expect, I'll be much more relaxed.
Indiana Puzzle - Moda Block Head QAL block 16
I've been in the sewing room but only got a small amount of sewing accomplished because of fatigue, but. I did make a fun block yesterday (above) and plan to post about it later this week.
Here is my playlist for next week:
1. Sew backing for The Wedding Quilt
2. Finish sewing rows together for RSS (Ruby Star Society) quilt
3. Post about Moda Block Head block 16
Now it's your turn - show us your playlists! I have coined playlist instead of goals after reading about Soma's playlists at Ink Torrents. Her blog is truly a joy to read with all the creative joy she exudes. All of you are kind and creative and funny and you inspire me so much every week! And you can call your list any name you choose. 😊

ReplyDeleteGreat that the cataract surgery went well and all the best for the one in the coming week. I love the Moda blockheads block.
ReplyDeleteI am so glad everything went well with your cataract surgery. Good for you getting your other eye done next week. Soon we'll see all sorts of sewing accomplished with your good eye sight, happy stitching!
ReplyDeleteSo glad everything went well for your first surgery, Linda. I imagine waiting for the next one is the hard part right now. That's a neat block - love the background fabric!
ReplyDeleteI am so happy to know you are well and ready for next week surgery, Linda. Your block is beautiful. Love the fabrics you chose for it. Have a blessed week.
ReplyDeleteSo glad your first surgery went well and all the best for next week! My dad has had both his done, and Mum is going to get hers done next month... apparently it really helps! You've got a good playlist happening there :) xx
ReplyDeleteGood morning, Linda! I've been thinking about you and your eye surgery. I am SO glad to read your update and that the surgery was successful. Just imagine how it will be after your right eye is fixed as well! That Indiana Puzzle block is so pretty. I often wonder how the blocks are named - why Indiana?! Thank you so much for the linky party today. I am going to visit some and hope to not find any squirrel projects. HAHA! {{Hugs}} a bunch ~smile~ Roseanne
ReplyDeleteglad all went well with your cataract surgery and you will be ready for the second one - I'm not sure what procedure you had that gave the area a bruise though - I hope it won't last long - love the block - I heard there might be rolling blackouts in Texas due to the heat I hope it won't be in your area! Very hot here too
ReplyDeleteSo very happy to read that your surgery was a success! Our eyes are precious so it is natural to worry about them but now you know what to expect, so all good. Beautiful block and fabric.
ReplyDeleteSuch good news about your eye. So glad it all went well. Good luck with next week! Your eyes will be back to new before you know it!
ReplyDeleteThank you!
DeleteI'm so glad your surgery went well and healing is underway! What a vibrant Indiana Puzzle block.
ReplyDeleteI'm pretty sure you could come up with a great story to go with that shiner: Something about a fabric sale and "you should see the OTHER quilter!" etc. Glad it all went well!
ReplyDeleteHi Linda,
ReplyDeleteI love your Indiana Puzzle block...it could have something to do with the fact I live in Indiana...lol. The little yellow center really sets the block up. Have a great day!
Glad to hear you cataracts surgery went well. I'm probably going in sometime this summer to get my eyes done. I'm impressed you got a block done! And, it is cute as all get out.
ReplyDeleteSo glad your surgery went well and isn’t it amazing how things look when you just look with the eye that is done! The fatigue is a result of the difference in the sight in your eyes, or at least that’s what I experienced. Enjoy the colours and have a great week. 😉
ReplyDeleteYea! I’m glad your surgery went well! It is indeed surprising how easy it can be and how much our vision improves! That is one lovely block! Your use of colors certainly highlights the movement and geometry of the block! Love that pop of yellow!
ReplyDeleteHappy sewing and praying for next week’s surgery!
Playlist, I like it. I just had my 3 yr old grandson help me tear some the roll of fabric into strips. He enjoyed helping.
ReplyDeleteThat's a great idea Marsha! I will see about doing that when our Littles come next time. The 3 yo is always looking for something to do, and that would satisfy his need to rip and tear - lol!
DeleteYour Indiana block is very pretty. Glad your first cataract surgery went well even if it looked like you spent time in the boxing ring!
ReplyDeleteThank you Mary! Yes I'm sure I'll have another shiner after the next surgery. ;)
DeleteSo glad surgery went well! And best of luck for the next round.
