Here is my happy hip recovery place. I’m hunkered down by the fireplace, surrounded by a stack of books and my quilts projects! It’s nice to have a few weeks of quiet to move through this process. I was instructed to get up and walk a bit every hour, so I took laps around the house with a walker the first week. It was painful when the nerve block wore off. I slept on the sofa the first 3 nights, then was able to navigate the stairs with crutches.
I’d prepared 4 Chopped Snake Quilts–the bindings were sewn on and ready to be stitched down. I love binding quilts. I listened to Christmas music and audio books while I worked. These will go to the kids for Christmas.
After a couple of days, the quilts were finished and ready for Christmas gifting.
It was fun to use up binding scraps, sewn together, on these scrap quilts.
Here’s a look at how I pieced the backs.
These are the exercised I’m doing every day for the first week:
Here are the exercises and instructions for the second week:
