Yes, my right rotator cuff is torn. I am so disappointed. I’m not sure what the verdict is on the left arm – the physical therapy ordered says bilateral which means both arms but today I got a shot in just the right arm. I will try this for 4 weeks and see him again. I will do almost anything to avoid surgery which means 6-8 weeks in a sling.
So there’s the answer – I have got to figure out some things like sleeping – I have to climb up two steps to get into my bed that has a new tall mattress. It’s enough to bring tears to my eyes. Also getting my chore coat on, feeding the parakeet, using my rotary cutter, ironing, etc. I found my electric toothbrush and that solved that issue.
Tonight I’m looking forward to going to bed because my arm doesn’t hurt after the cortisone shot and I’ll be able to sleep.
Who is my tech advisor on here? I honestly can’t remember and I thought I wrote down the name. I have a reader who is not able to leave a comment and I think it’s probably something obvious but I want to forward her email to you. I think your name is Linda?
My good boy Keeper went with me today and we were gone over 3 hours! Hazel had to stay home – she is not patient! I noticed a quilt shop on Main Street in Clarion – really?
The cartoon of the day!

If Becky and Angie will clim the ladder, you can change the CWM if you think it needs lowered. I think it looks ok, but your decor looks a lot better than mine.
I’m so glad the shot is helping. I think it will get even better with a little time. I had mine done about 22 years ago. The first doctor said surgery only option. I went to another one and told him, I didn’t want surgery, what does he offer? I got the shot and haven’t had any trouble.
As far as the cooking issue…good luck there. I don’t have an air fryer, but I’ve seen lots of meals in the frozen section of the grocery store for air fryers.
Jo – I love to hear that about the surgery option – I will try anything before I agree to surgery
It is Sally’s Sewing in Clarion. She has been there a few years.

Wishing you the best after this latest bad news. Taking it easy isn’t normal for you! I liked your story of Keeper staying with you for those hours you were away.
Lovely quilts. And love the pictures of the cats.
Mary – tried to leave a comment last night. Disappeared when I was trying to put name info in.. said…..CW modern quilt looks great as is. Friends have had recent rotator cuff surgery and recovery is not as bad as it used to be! Different methods used I guess
Mary Ellen – ooh, that’s the kind of update I like but I’m going to do everything I can to avoid it. I had the surgery about 30 years ago – it was horrid
Oh Mary. It really makes one appreciate being able to do the small things. My neck has been horrible lately. General doctor ordered X-ray and said all was fine and go to pain management…. NO WAY says me. Called my surgeon and he looked at Xray and ordered an MRI. Got results back and I have 3 places where the discs are bulging and a compressed nerve. Earliest appt available is Feb 18. In the meantime, I have a very hoarse voice and radiating pain. Such is life! The medical profession is so short of qualified doctors. In the meantime I am sewing as much as I can. Do not know what the future holds for me as I already have most of my cervical spine fused. Spring would be nice so I can go outside and walk.
Polly – this is distressing news and I am so sorry. Being seen by a dr is almost rare. I don’t know who they’re seeing but my surgeon is booked till Feb 14 several days ago. What can you do for the pain in the meantime? Couldn’t you go to pain management until surgery? Your pain doesn’t sound like a Tylenol would touch it!
It must be the season for all us old ladies to hurt! I ran into the footboard on our bed in the middle of the night on the way to the br! Ugh! It hurt so bad! Yesterday we went to Sioux Falls and I was a wreck by the time we got home! Sat on an ice pack, did help some but took a long time to get to sleep! Whawha 🥵
It is gorgeous weather here. Mary I see you have to wear boots. Our snow is all gone and the gravel drive is dry. I really like the dry roads.
I think your quilt is a little high also. By, the way I don’t get on a ladder but my 80 year old hubby gets on a big ladder to clean out the gutters on the shed! I try not to watch.
Joy – get this – Farmer Tim was gleaning gutters and fell – he’s getting X-rays – he also should not be on a ladder! Yes, lots of melting snow and ice – went from snow boots to rain boots. I need lots of outdoor clothes – ha!
I always love your posts. It’s my routine to read yours with a nice hot cup of tea, and savor everything. Love your Civil War Modern — don’t re-hang it lower. You might decide to put something taller underneath. This way, you have room to move things around if you wish & still be able to enjoy the full view of that pretty quilt. I hope the recovery process works without surgery – that surgery and knee replacement are both the worst ones to recover from. Take care!
That’s just what I was going to say — height is perfect because of the display shelf { and cat walk LOL ] beneath it.
I am so sorry to hear about your physical issues. Those are really hard to deal with for sure. but maybe having it fixed would be worth having to wear a sling. We certainly all have responsibilities that living alone does not allow us to take some time off. Your quilt looks so wonderful hung up. Take care and Happy New Year!!
I’m glad that the cortisone injection gave you some relief from the pain. I was in a similar situation about 10 years ago. My husband is a physical therapist & he was a great help on the road to recovery. I think a lot depends on the size of tear. Tom also says that healing is age related too. Sorry to add that last part but so many things get more difficult as we age. Unfortunately that cartoon is so true. Cats & quilts were enjoyable as usual.
A new quilt shop! The good Lord knew you needed a reward for going to Clarion to the doctor appointments! Take it as a sign that you are doing what you should! 🙂 When I was in school at one point, I could not work much on sewing or quilting so I just planned quilts in my head. When I found the notebook I used, it was like a gold mine of ideas and instructions. You know we would all appreciate your excellent patterns!
The hanging quilt is darling and looks great there. I like that there is room under it for little whatnots like you have put there.
It’s been summer weather in Houston lately. I cannot complain, but this climate change is really interesting. The fountain in our back yard has been a mess for well over a year. A daughter in law and two little grandsons came last weekend to muck it out. They loved finding THREE frogs, a couple of lizards, and some earthworms and moving them to flowerbeds. I am thrilled that it now is working and looks great. I never thought this would happen in January!
So glad you got a diagnosis at least and some pain relief. We love you and send good wishes, thoughts, and prayers your way as always.
Tanya – wow! Fountain clean out in January – I’m outside with the dogs – had to wear my big rubber boots because of all the melted snow!!! The warm weather is worth it!!!
So sorry to hear about your shoulder. My husband has the same issue. He had an mri last winter. Found the tear and started physical therapy. He did the therapy for several months. It helped but he still had some pain. The therapist said that was all they could do for him and the surgeon said he would do surgery after harvest. He continued to do his exercises and now says he has no pain so for now they’re delaying surgery. So far, he hasn’t had any pain for several months. Hopefully physical therapy will be a big relief for you too.
Oh, no, Mary… I get a knot in my stomach whenever I hear anyone talk about “rotator cuff” issues. I’m praying that you are on your way to healing (without surgery!) after your appointment. PT can work miracles, in my opinion. Someone said to do your exercises religiously and, from my own experience, I think she is right. You’re going to be okay! You have enough determination and fortitude to handle anything. PS Don’t move the quilt now, even if you decide it should be lower. ~ Suzanne in Michigan
OUCH! on the shoulders – bad enough when it’s one at a time, but both – Ugh. Good that the shot help the one shoulder though.
The quilt might be a tad bit high. I’d put a couple of taller items in front of it before climbing up to redo it. Especially with owie shoulders. Or leave it as is for a while – you might come to like it the way it is.
Just Gail – I really do think the quilt is too high – I notice any time I see pictures hung near the ceiling in photos – truly!- and I hate it. Angela or Becky will help.
I am SO sorry about your shoulder – I hope it heals quickly! Please try not to aggravate it too much… glad to hear the cortisone is helping.
Great photos today, I really like the Civil War Modern. I don’t think it’s too high – the placement allows the entire quilt to be seen. It’s a matter of preference.
I saw your book “Beyond the Battlefield”, put it on my wishlist, and received it from my daughter – now I have a couple of those patterns on my “let’s do” list… so pretty!
Gail – lots of great quilts in that book!
I hope your PT will help that shoulder. I did not have a tear but I could not lift my arm above my head. PT did the job for me so never saw a surgeon. I hope the same for you. Do the exercises religiously!
Our very warm weather is coming to an end. Last day before rain and snow.
Well, like everyone else I’m so sorry about your poor shoulders. I am praying for relief from pain and healing for you. It is so hard not to do things when you have been doing them all your life. I try to be extra careful because right now I’m in good shape and need to stay that way to help my husband who isn’t in good shape! I enjoyed the photos as always and loved that chair upholstered in Grandma’s Flower Garden. I’m hoping it was an inexpensive store-bought quilt, not some family heirloom though. Hope you will have a good day and maybe you need an “iced tea” tonight!
I am sending a virtual hug Mary! A shoulder problem of any sort is painful, limiting, scary, and if surgery required takes time to recover. The cartoon nailed it. Love the chair! Wow. Given the shoulder issue, I’d say leave well enough alone on Civil War Modern. It will wait for you! Any youngster you could hire for some help, service hours, or FFA project? It might help you…..
all the pictures are beautiful,
I love Civil War Modern It looks great on that wall
sorry about your shoulders, hoping for a ease of pain soon
All the animals are so sweet, love seeing and hearing about them
Forgot to say the cross stitch is gorgeous done in one color! And the quilts. I love the simplicity of the background with the designs.
Mary, I hope you slept better last night with having the shot. It’s a lot to process with both shoulders causing you grief but I think you realize this is a wake up call to slow down from some of your usual chores. Time to put the call out for some kids who will mow. It’s hard to stand inside looking out knowing someone else is doing your job but we want you around not hurting and you have to give in that you can’t do it all. If I were sitting at your table right now I’d be saying this to you cause your well being so we can selfishly read your blog each day means we need you in good shape girlfriend!
Mary, I am so sorry to hear you have injured both arms! I hope you will heal quickly and you are able to sleep at night!
Oh Mary – so sorry to hear about the torn rotator cuff 😪 also that both arms need PT! I hope the cortisone shot gives you some relief. Praying for healing so you don’t need surgery!!
I think the quilt looks great where you hung it. And Mortie is just too sweet!
Thoughts & prayers coming your way. I know from experience that rotator cuff recovery is not fun & games but the end result is worth it. You have to do what PT says which means behaving yourself. I remember asking and pleading that I could do some handwork. PT looked at me and gave a resounding NO. I read a lot to pass the time. Having right shoulder surgery and being right handed dominant is not a good recipe for fun. This too shall pass.
Mary sorry about your shoulders and hope you will take it easy. Give yourself some grace and be still. Love where your quilt is hanging. Amazing how the two quilts are quilted, the same in some places and different in the borders. Nice job. My heart went pitter patter seeing the chair with the Grandmothers Flower Garden quilt.
Getting a top ready to quilt that I finished in 2018. Hope to have finished by the end of the month. Did spend some time outside on Monday and trimmed up a Burning Bush. Weather was not nice enough yesterday to go outside. Maybe today after my haircut.
Mary take care.
Sorry to hear your diagnosis, hoping the shots work. Maybe you should be sleeping downstairs in your recliner for now. I’ve been sleeping in my recliner for8-9 years now. Looking at the email address for that quilt shop, it looks like the name might be Sally’s Sewing Shop. I’ve never been able to comment from the email, I always click on “read on blog” immediately, that way I can close the ads and read the comments. Hope this helps!
Jamie! So good to hear from you in the comments. I echo what you said that the only way for me to get to the comments is to hit the blog title in our email which takes me to the internet. I cannot comment by just reading the blog post on my email. I’ll do whatever I can to read everyone’s comments to hear about their life and how the day is going. It’s just a couple more steps.
I think it’s OK to say “Owie, owie, owie” with a loud voice when need be. Plus, I vote to only cook simple things and try not to lift heavy pans, pots of soup, or boiling water!
There are days I feel like a triceratops, holding my elbows to my side and using my left hand to help raise my right arm. No tears (or tears), but overuse from thinking I could wrangle bolts of fabric one-handed all those years I worked in fabric stores and throw a ball like a boy when my son wanted to play catch. I call it my “old football injury!”
Yes, meeting old friends at the clinic instead of going out to lunch leaves a lot to be desired!
Your quilt looks perfect against the wood wall. A nice combination of warm colors. Maybe something taller on the shelf below if you feel it has a tendency to “float.”
The cat on the quilty chair and the girls (Greta and Mortie) are so sweet, as always.
I got my Wild Rice pattern yesterday and I think you’re right. I’ll make it as a remembrance of the first good news after my surgery. Thanks for the idea. Maybe one block for each negative scan? Hmm, I’ll have to think about that.
Stay well everyone. Masks are being encouraged at Robert’s nursing home. It’s Covid and the new flu. I hope they don’t have to restrict visitors. Prayers continue. Kris in WI.
I am so sorry about your painful time trying to do things. The quilt is beautiful! I loved that quilt from the first time you showed it. Please be careful with doing things. The animals ALL NEED YOU and Mortie looks like she is staying close by you!
I go to the blog at the top of the email to comment. That works the best for me for reading comments too.
I do not always comment but I faithfully read your emails every night! I have to keep up with Mortie and the others.
Mary, I’m sorry that you’re in such pain. Those cortisone shots are the bomb. I’ve had a couple in my knees. Years ago I even had them in my feet. Your quilt is perfect where it’s at. I love how you capture a photo of the cats amongst your plants.
Sorry to hear of the rotator cuff tear. I hope it can heal itself. I know surgery isn’t what we want but there are times it is necessary to get out of pain. I’m now on the list to have my other knee replaced. I fought it for six months and it’s too bad, I would have been 6 months through the 18 month wait for surgery.
Your civil war modern quilt is perfect where it is and I love it. Every time you post a picture I love it more. Just need to hand sew the binding on my January dirty dozen quilt and I will be done! The first quilt of the year and the first completed quilt in my new sewing room. Soon I hope to remove the carpet in my sewing room and put in the laminate floor I just picked up. It is such a pain trying to roll a chair on the carpet every time I have to get up to iron or do anything else. Removing the carpet upstairs and painting everywhere is the last of the big jobs around here inside the house. We won’t do it all at once but my sewing room is the first room we will do. Just need to complete two more quilts and then I can take everything out of the room and start. I feel like we’ve been living in a constant state of chaos. Not what I expected when we sold our house. But oh well, I know we still made the right choice. And soon too this will pass.
First thing I did to my little sewing room when I retired was to replace the carpet with laminate. The next was to replace the single light fixture to five down lights, for 2 areas: sewing, and cutting table and ironing. Such an improvement to a small space.
Pauline you are right it will be a great improvement. Our last home had laminate floors since 2008 so I had forgotten what a pain carpet is. I can’t wait. Have a great day.
Congratulations on your new room. What a nice “lifetime achievement award”…retirement. It takes a lifetime to achieve retirement. I hope you enjoy every minute spent in your new room.
Bummer about your shoulders! So awful, especially for such an active person like yourself. You always find a way around the rock and get it done. Like the others, though, I sure wish you would stay off the ladders. That said, the quilt looks perfect in its spot, and it sure is a gorgeous one.
I hope the shot works and you can avoid surgery.
It’s too late if you have a new mattress but this summer I bought 2 new mattresses. I told the owner of the furniture store I didn’t want to buy new sheets and didn’t want a tall mattress. He had only one selection that was a Posturepedic and I bought that. It is a little taller but not horrible and my old sheets fit!
I love the chair with the hexie cover and the beautiful cat.
So sorry to hear the cuff is torn and hope the shots help. The quilt looks just fine where it is. Please stay off ladders!!!!!
To the reader who can’t make comments: make sure you are reading from the blog and not from the email.
Wish I were closer to provide some help!
Mary, I tore my rotator cuff several years ago – confirmed by MRI. I opted not to have shoulder replacement surgery and I am fortunate to have an excellent physical therapist. I did not wear a sling, exercises required weights and a Theraband – she did not have me do any exercises that were painful. I slept in a recliner and still do 5 yers later. I cannot lift much weight above shoulder height – 2 dinner plates – but I am able to do most everything else I need or want to do in my eighth decade (I don’t have to manage bales or sacks of feed). Good luck – love Mortie – he’s the cutest!
So sorry to hear of your health challenges. I’m sure quite frustrating with all the physical work you do! Try not to overdo. Love your sweet Mortie !
I agree with Elaine, what are you doing climbing ladders!?? I don’t know Mary, who would take care of your animals, plants and Rick if you fell? Accidents happen. Please take care. Jan in MA
Jan – and I intend to be very careful in everything I do. I will save up the heavy jobs for Becky or Angela. My animals need me and I have time to slow down. I did tell the dr. today that this can’t go on thru spring – there’s lawn to mow.
I’m sorry about your Doctor’s report today Mary. I sure hope that it will have improved when you go back in a few weeks. Last winter I suffered with tendonitis in my left shoulder and it was miserable. I also was unable to sleep. PT helped a lot . I feel your pain Mary.
I’m not you tech person but I wanted to just note that I am unable to comment on your blog when it comes to my e-mail. I have your blog bookmarked and when i go there, I am able to comment. Perhaps this is the issue your reader has.
My sister-in-law had a knee replacement today and I will be staying with her as she recovers. I get to be “Nurse Ratchett”!! Not sure how long she will need me. We are playing it by ear. I wish I lived near you as I would love to help with your animals, etc. Take care and don’t try to over do.
Ginger – ooh, this is a great hint – I’ll tell her! And thank you. I actually think I need a new bed, softer and lower to the ground – for old ladies – ha!
Chose a regular bed height years ago because it seemed like falling out of bed could be dangerous with those mattresses so high.
Around here a fluffy down vest protects farly well from the cold when layered, but then that requires a pullover sweater if necessary. Mine is oversized which makes it easier to put on quickly. So nice having my arms free for a variety of errands and tasks.
Never leave home without a wool scarf.
I just posted a long comment and it went to a page about site security and disappeared.
To summarize: Civil War Modern is stunning and looks perfect as it hangs.
So sorry about your injury. With cortisone, I get extreme red facial flushing about a day later.
Stay safe and don’t push too hard.
Mary you will have to slow down, God is telling you that. You are asking for trouble climbing ladders. I am having trwalking..to walking… I could barely get around my apartment Sunday . I had to use my cane. My feet felt like they wouldn’t leave the floor. I get pretty down, I’ve really never been sick. I never had insurance until I retired!. I have been diagnosed with NPH…not many good symptoms, I don’t read them . Will be praying.
Beryl – I will need to look upNPH – I don’t know what you’re talking about. Well, I did put the ladder away – I can’t believe I didn’t lose my balance but it’s done now. Could I get out of cooking?
Beryl – I looked up NPH and that sounds exactly like what my husband is dealing with. We will be checking with our doctor about it. He is seeing a spine doctor next week, as he also has back pain, and our primary doctor thought the back may be the cause of his problems. I thank you for sharing, as this may be an answer for him.
Mary, so sorry about the rotator cuff surgery. I know I said previously I had it 10 years ago, had surgery and am doing well now, but it was a long recovery with a lot of PT as well afterwards.
I love where you hung your quilt and I don’t think it is too high.

The other thing cats like is their food and treats.
So sorry to hear of the problem with your rotator cuff. I have had both my rotator cups cut completely through four times. They finally had to remove my collarbones because they were hooked instead of flat and they were cutting my rotator cuff. If your rotator cuff is torn, I don’t know of anything except surgery that could help it. I just went through a year of trying to avoid back surgery and found out when I met with a surgeon that there was nothing I could’ve been done to fix it. IIf your rotator cuff is torn, I don’t know of anything except surgery that could help it. I just went through a year of trying to avoid back surgery and found out when I met with the surgeon that there was nothing I could’ve done to fix it. I should’ve had surgery a year ago. I hope it all worked out for you.
Jean – so how are you feeling now, Jean? Did you JUST have surgery again? Are you still able to do your decorating activities and projects? It would be a shame if you couldn’t. I do understand about the surgery. I learned that the rotator cuff will not heal itself. Right now I’m just in shock and haven’t had time to think.
Boy, I just read my comment. I don’t know why everything showed up twice. I had back surgery on October 1 and let me tell you I wasted a year trying to avoid it because I was afraid. Once I came out of surgery, the horrific pain I was having all the time was gone. I should’ve done this a year ago. If I had met with the surgeon and found out exactly what was going on, I would have. I would say get your surgery done and be done with it. Every time I’ve had shoulder surgery I completely healed. It did take a while, but it was worth it. So I’m doing pretty good after my back surgery no more falling down. ?.. The pain would come at me so fast and so bad my knees would buckle down I would go. That’s when I finally decided I needed to talk to the surgeon. As far as crafting, I had six shows I was signed up for and had to cancel all of them. But I have been making little paper wreaths out of all of my paper scraps that I have left for making my paper Christmas trees. It’s a good project I can do while sitting in a chair. I think I have 30 little paper wreaths made. Now I have to decorate them. Good luck with your should!
Oops..so many typos! Good luck with your shoulder…not your should!
Jean – oh, Lord, you’ve been thru the ringer! I hate that you had to give up your shows – when you get scheduled for shows again, could I “advertise” here on the blog about time and location because I know my readers would love your stuff. I’ll tell you what everybody is telling me – take it easy and heal!
Sorry to hear about your rotator cuff problem. I can relate to the pain you are in as I have had this experience. I ended up sleeping in a lounge chair with pillows under both arms to help with the pain at night. The pillows helped support my shoulders. Sitting up was more comfortable and easier than getting in and out of bed. I found I had trouble carrying anything with a weight, hurt too much! Ice packs and a large heating pad became a constant with me. It takes time but, it did get better!
Mary..hopefully your body will heal your injury without surgery. I still sleep at night with a pillow under my ar, so the weight of my arm is in a neutral position. I used to clean houses and paint and wallpaper and my poor right arm was always in terrible pain. A cortisone shot is a godsend no doubt. Tomorrow I will help my DNR-in-law she slipped down a few stairs Saturday night and dislocated her right ankle plus broken in two places, surgery was early Sunday morning. She went home this afternoon. I will make some hot dishes up for them and take them over, and see how I can help in any way. There is a saying, ‘It could always be worse’ but I’d say it’s there…same for you…take care.
The pillow is under my right arm. (I did not catch the typo before sending).
Cynthia – oh no!!! What’s her recovery time? Dislocated AND broken??? Oh, the poor thing. You’re good to help.
Wow, both shoulders affected, that’s not good, but what can you do but “slog on” with therapy, etc. (that’s what I tell myself when I have to go through unavoidable situations). Glad the shot helped and that you’ll be able to sleep tonight. Checking out that quilt shop is something to look forward to. Greta and Mortie are beautiful as usual, and the quilts are lovely. Take care!
Sara – my thoughts exactly – it is what it is and just do it.
Hi Mary.
I’m sorry about your rotator cuff. Hopefully you will be all patched up and healed in a few weeks. I hope you can get some sleep tonight.
Mary do hope you are able to rest up so you can heal quickly, but that’s going to be hard isn’t it. Time to catch up on reading.
I’m sorry for your shoulder – I wouldn’t want surgery either. Civil war modern looks perfect where it is, and I love the two quilts with the pumpkins and presents,
Weather her in Phoenix AZ is nice right now but we’ve had spotty rain. I’ve been working on UFO #12 as well as getting stuff together for my class at Road to California. Can’t wait for that!
Christine – oh, Road to California! I’ve heard and read about it for years – what class are you taking and from whom?
I’m taking a class from Sandra Mollon, who creates gorgeous photorealistic quilts. Her website is
https://www.sandramollonquilts.com for anyone interested. We’ll be making a Tiger Longwing Butterfly in class.
Christine – I’ve taken a collage class but found it not to be my thing even tho I am so appreciative of the results which I love! You’ll report in after your class, won’t you?
Of course I will!
Love your quilt and think it’s hung just right. Love all the photos and sayings.
I’ve spent the last 2 days in my sewing room/book room, sorting out ufos, op shop contributions, craft group contributions and tossing patterns and scraps that I will never use. Wish I didn’t have so much stuff. I’m a hoarder not a minimalist. Wish someone had told me I would’t need it all.
Denise – I love all my stuff and don’t want to get rid of it! But I should downsize
So sorry to hear that you have a tear. Is there an MRI in your future to see where and the size of the tear? Hopefully the physical therapist will help. They can help so much. The Modern Civil War quilt looks great on the wall!
Karen – If I decide to have the surgery, an MRI will be necessary to pinpoint the exact location. Does that sound right? My brain sorta shut down.
Can surely see why you would be hopeful that PT would be successful. It will give you some time to gather facts around preparing for surgery, how long the process, how invasive, etc. typical to your specific situation. Gosh, here’s hoping the tear is more manageable than it is a severe one.
Hi Mary, love the armchair with the grandmother’s garden quilt on it, though l would hate to cut up such a beautiful quilt! Greta looks beautiful by the pants l hope she doesn’t get close to the cactus! Lovely warm weather this week, no cardigan! Take care everyone, best wishes from Sandy
If you are referring to me (Linda) about leaving a comment. I said, since you got your new iPad set up, I get a comment box! I rarely had that option before & I’m happy now.
Sorry to hear your shoulder verdict!
Linda – no, I don’t think you’re the right Linda who works this type of job but since you said that, I wonder if she’s having this problem just now – since my update. Hmmmm
I think the quilt looks great where it is! It’s a beauty! I am sorry to hear about all the pain you are in with your shoulder,I hope it eases with time. You are a dynamo,always moving,always doing-it is who you are. You amaze me. I love all the stories and animals and info that you share. Take Care!
Your quilt is beautiful!
I’m so sorry you got that news! I had hoped for better for you. Please stay off ladders and chairs! You don’t need to misstep and have more issues. I’m sure even typing this blog is an issue with neither arm doing well. Take care and accept help!!!
Elaine – that’ll be the day when I can’t write this blog!!!!
