What Have I Accomplished?

I went back to work this week, and I’m SO glad it’s Friday!  I used up all my strength getting in and out of our new HUGE building.  It’s quite a walk getting from the car to the door I go in, then I have an even longer walk to get to where my desk is inside.  Fortunately, a lot of my time is spent in the same area all day, so I’m not walking constantly.   HOWEVER, there’s nothing like a huge building with carpeting everywhere to entice one to go walking inside several times a day, and that’s what I’ve been doing.  Beats a treadmill any day!

I’ve found I have very little strength when I get home, so in the evenings, I’m planted in my leather chair with “THE QUILT” on my lap.  I’ve gotten about 3 hours quilting in every night this week, and I’m on the home stretch on the cheddar part of the quilt.   Once that’s finished, the borders should go by quickly.

Now I know how people get so much quilting done:   That’s all they do! 

Wish I had more exciting things to share, but it’s been that kind of a week.  Have a great weekend!

  1. hope you get to feeling better soon - surgery takes awhile to recover from, too bad you had to go back to work so soon.

  3. I remember working in a huge building when I had a broken ankle - about a mile from the parking lot and up huge stairs on crutches, I felt they should have paid me extra just to get there, lol. Your chair looks so comfy, and your quilt is really coming along beautifully!
