    Your dots look like Christmas tree ornaments.

  2. Luckily my Brother quilting sewing machine is portable so I can take it with us when we are camping. Nearly finished with my Daughter Quilt, then I can start making Christmas squares.

    Beautiful! Thank you for sharing!

    Home the same day? Wow. Was it a full hip replacement? Good luck with the recuperation. I had my knee replaced a year and a half ago, it was way more time in the hospital!

    Your felt coins are cute – I'd be making myself some felt jewelery if I had your stash. There are some great ideas on Pinterest. I've had more than my share of time in hospital, and I always have either a hand-stitched hexie kit or some cross stitch to keep my hands busy. Just lying there doesn't feel right, and I think sewing, like knitting, is good mental therapy.

    My husband had his hip replaced 2 weeks ago and he's walking without a cane now. Pain free for the most part, PT twice a week but no sweat. Beat decision he ever made.

    I wish your father a speedy recovery. Maybe this is a great window for more Father/Daughter machine embroidery designs ? (hint, hint….your ME designs are stunning). I think your felt circles are lovely and I look forward to seeing what you create with them.

    I try to always have an applique project to work on that I can quick grab if I'm going to be sitting somewhere for a period of time. It's amazing how much you can get done in 10 minutes here and 10 minutes there

  9. Leah Day says:

    I completely agree! Small progress really can add up over time.

  10. Leah Day says:

    Oh yes! We're working on several fun ideas. Digitizing a flower is almost as good as enjoying them in the garden!

  11. Leah Day says:

    I absolutely agree! I'll definitely check out the felted jewelry. It sounds pretty!

  12. What a cool project to have at hand while doing all that waiting around. I hope your dad recovers well, it's amazing how quickly people are up and about after hip replacements! I've this weekend finished up a single-bed quilt (for a gift) and shifted the pile of UFOs from one spare bed to the other spare bed while 'taking inventory' to figure out what to do next. Have a good week!

  13. I know that you are Left-Handed – and I assume that you sew your felted wool Left-Handed. Would be so kind as to post some tutorials or videos on how YOU do it for the other Left-Handed Quilters out there in blogland. I, for one, would really appreciate it – thanks – ;))
