It's been a very frustrating couple of weeks after embarking upon cataract surgery, first for one eye....then two weeks later for the other. My friends caution me to be patient, that it will be worth it. I'm counting on their advice because right now I regret the whole thing.
If you are like me.....NOT being able to sew is like not breathing......thus my frustration.....with that said, I actually (slowly, ever so slowly) finished another piece. Sales at the NC Arboretum exhibit that I'm doing with two pals, Kate and Judy, have been good and replacements are needed....yeah.
SUMMERTIME 15.5" x 21.5"
Ice-dyed and painted cotton rayon, machine stitched.
Edge facing and hanging sleeve complete this piece.

The re-work looks wonderful. Hope the eyes improve soon so you can get back to what you love.
Hope you continue to heal, Mary. Give it time! You will be back up to speed and seeing so much more than before!
Oh my, Mary, eye #2 done and not the improvement you'd hoped... yet. Emphasis on the "yet". So hoping things will clear up and you'll get the desired result soon. I guess patiently waiting is the key, but that's never easy when there are projects awaiting you. All the best! Your new work is lovely. And how nice the sales have been satisfying- worth the efforts.
Hi Mary, your piece is stunning. Good luck with your eye sight! Hope you get to quilt your heart out this summer :-)
I have heard of ice dying but have not tried it. I think the fabrics look lovely. Your finished piece is beautiful. Hopefully you'll be seeing better soon and this will all be just a memory.
Love what you have added! Be well.
oh dear hope the surgery went okay but seems you are not happy about it, I am sure all will be well in a few days, not telling you about the bad time i had with my left eye. Your ice dyeing piece looks lovely, I really like the delicate colouring you created even if it was a mistake.
I wish you a speedy recovery. Your quilted piece turned out nicely in spite of paler than usual results.
Love your piece, Mary!!! Do hang in there with your eyes...it just takes time and adjustments...even the glasses you had may not work now! Another frustration fr sure!
