Well now, it has been awhile...I am still here. Still wearing this sling, still limping (right knee) and still not sleeping much. To be honest I don't sleep all that good anyway but turning on this shoulder can certainly wake me immediately. I am becoming quite good with some things using my left hand. I am trying to figure how this fracture will heal with only this sling. Did I mention it moves constantly? I know, stop complaining. There are others with more to deal with.
We are currently having heat advisories in Arizona. Yesterday was 105 and the forecast says maybe 110 by the weekend. Back in Rhode Island it is much more comfortable...why am I telling you this?
Alan and Lisa are in Rhode Island visiting family. Here is The Brother with his daughter Elyssa and her daughter Natalia. Alan's smile says it all. They left on Monday and will be back on Tuesday. Murphy and I are on our best behavior. They made sure I had plenty of food and easy things to prepare.
Of course in between chores and such I have been working on my quilt. It is now 144 windows and 81 squares big, There are no repeats of fabric yet. Included are windows from friends....their names are listed on the sidebar. I still have pieces from them to add in with my additions. The quilt measures almost 40 inches square Once I reach 13 squares (in a row)wide then I will begin to add rows only to the top and bottom until I reach a length that I want. . I still have a way to go... many more windows. Thank you friends who have sent me windows! Your names are on the back side behind your window.
I love to visit with you all. Thank you for your kind words and encouragement. Thank you for your friendship.

Your quilt looks wonderful, so sorry you are having such a tough time with your healing, I know it felt like forever when mine was healing you will get there.
Such a slow process the healing is. Alan and his girls are lovely. So is your quilt!!
Gracie, the quilt is looking absolutely gorgeous. Wishing you continued healing prayers.
Oh Gracie, I am so out of touch. I just read your last four posts today. I'm sorry to hear about your fall and glad your injuries are not more serious. I'm happy to hear you're following the Dr's orders! I know it's frustrating and time seems to slow down when trying to recovery but hang in there. Your quilt is so beautiful! I love it. As we were cleaning out my folks home I found a quilt stuffed in the back of a closet. I'm positive my paternal grandmother made it. I've had several of her quilts and recognize her work. It is very old. I know lots of people disagree with me, but I believe quilts were made to be used and I have plans for this one when we move into our new house. Take care, Gracie. Remember I'm right down the street (well Bell Rd) if you need anything.
Love the Quilt so pretty .
Hope your arm will be better soon.
Glad to see you still sewing along, albeit slowly! My fabrics are on their way to you, hope they'll cross the ocean safely.
Your quilt is looking good! I’m so sorry about your arm. I broke my wrist 2 years ago and it was 6 weeks of trying not to use it. I missed my sewing. Take care and I hope it gets better soon. Hugs,
