August One Monthly Goal



My One Monthly Goal for August is to complete the applique blocks for this months Afternoon Delight BOM. I have five days to get them done. I'm going easy on myself since after the sixth I will be "out of commission". I'm finally biting the bullet and having bone fusion surgery on my left wrist as the cortisone hasn't been helping with the pain anymore. I've had my Covid test and am self isolating until the "big day". 

Clayton James quilt
I was hoping to get all twenty Clayton James blocks completed before surgery, but only managed to get this far. I've been cleaning cupboards, relining shelves and drawers, washing windows and weeding my gardens. I have been feeling like I will never be able to do anything ever again! My instructions are to keep my wrist absolutely immobile after surgery for up to 6 weeks (possibly longer) to allow the fusion to heal, so I won't attempt to finish any of more of these blocks for quite a while. 
In anticipation of getting back to sewing this fall, I have cut out and made test blocks for several quilts from Linda Koenig's Ratsburg Road Quilts book. 

In the meantime, I will be catching up on my reading! 

Linking with One Monthly Goal here:
August link-up is open!

  1. I'm so sorry to hear of your need for surgery. Your wrist must be so painful. I'm praying the treatment really helps relieve that pain and that somehow you can entertain yourself otherwise while you recover and heal. Enjoy those books! We will look forward to seeing how your Fall projects look and hope you are able to do them a lot more comfortably!

    1. Does anyone still doubt natural herbs? I've seen the great importance of natural herbs and the miraculous effect of in my life. I wonder why people still spend their money on injections and drugs each time they are sick. Natural herbs can cure all kinds of illness including herpes, diabetes, asthma, HIV, HSV1&2, hepatitis, HPV etc. I've seen it with my own eyes. I was cured from Herpes and HPV and my aunt and her husband were cured from herpes too by DR. SHAIBU ABACHA herbs. He uses natural herbs to cure different kind of diseases. Even Dr. Sebi prove to the world that natural herbs can cure all illness and he cured countless people using herbs. I know is hard to believe but am a living testimony. I was diagnose of Herpes and HPV in 2019 and i believe there is cure even when the doctors said there is no cure yet. I strongly believe in herbs and i came across a comment on a blog written by Dianna Kat saying she was cured from HERPES by DR. SHAIBU ABACHA and i quickly contact drshaibu_b on the email that was provided on the comment and order one for myself and he send it to me through UPS and he  gave me instructions on how to use it and after i finish taken it i went for checkup and the result shows am Herpes and HPV NEGATIVE. The doctor said that the virus is completely gone from my body. There is no harm trying herbs it work perfectly and it has no effect. You can contact Dr SHAIBU ABACHA on email to get yours.... email drshaibuabacha@gmail.com or Call/WhatsApp +2349051727475 I will continue to publish this in every blog so people can know that there is cure for HPV,Herpes and other diseases. Stop living in anguish and let us eradicate this virus out of this world. Do not hide your sickness so your sickness will not hide you.

    5. I was diagnosed of herpes 3 years, and ever since then i have been taking treatment to prevent outbreaks, burning and blisters, but there was no improvement until i came across testimonies of Dr. VOODOO on how he has been curing different people from different diseases all over the world, then i contacted him. After our conversation he sent me the medicine which i took according to his instructions for up to 2 weeks. After completing the medication i went back to my doctor for another test and the virus was all gone and i was completely cured, since then i have not had any signs of outbreak. I'm so filled with joy. With herbal medication Herpes Virus is 100% curable. I refer Dr VOODOO to everyone out there with the virus Email: voodoospelltemple66@gmail.com Add Dr voodoo on whatsApp +2348140120719

  9. How daunting to not be able to move your wrist for six weeks. I hope you have lots of good reading material loaded on a device so you don't have to hold a book for long one handed. :)

    ReplyDelete
  10. Ouch! I hope you have no wrist using entertainment to last for six weeks.

    ReplyDelete
  11. Wow - 6 weeks with no sewing will be tough I imagine but it will be worth it in the end. Wishing you well for a successful surgery and recovery.

    ReplyDelete
  12. 6 weeks will hopefully fly by quickly and then your wrist will be feeling good. You've got a lot of sewing to do!!!😉 Wishing you a very speedy recovery.

    ReplyDelete
  13. I'm so sorry to hear of your impending surgery. I have carpal tunnel in both wrists and have been avoiding surgery for the same reasons you noted. It sounds like your situation is worse though. 6 weeks is a long time to be out of commission. I hope all goes well. Please let us know how your recovery is going and good luck.

  14. Sending good thoughts for your surgery. Take care and follow Doctor's instructions and you'll be back to sewing in no time. Hugs

  15. All the best with your surgery. I like how you're prepared for the "no sewing time" and the time after. Take it easy and all will be well!

    ReplyDelete
  16. Wishing you all the best with your surgery! Yes....seems like reading is going to be the smartest thing to do while your healing.... just think about how much more enjoyable (pain free) quilting will be when your wrist does finally heal! :-)

    ReplyDelete
  17. You have certainly been busy preparing for this surgery!! Praying that all goes well and that you mend quickly!!!!

    ReplyDelete
  18. Sorry to hear about your upcoming surgery. I had my left wrist fused about 20 years ago after a bad break that didn't heal. Physical therapy helped a whole lot after surgery!

    ReplyDelete
  19. Will be praying for you that your surgery goes well! That those giving you the anesthesia, holding the scalpel or whatever job they do will do it well and to the best of their abilities, and that their abilities be the best. Hugs and kisses and well wishes!

  20. I'm so sorry to hear about your upcoming surgery and especially about the enforced immobility of your hand and arm. I hope all goes well and that you can somehow let us know. I also hope you're able to meet your goal before the surgery!
