We're celebrating...my quilt holder is back!!!!!!!! I sure haven't gotten much sewing done these past 3 weeks, but we have him on his feet, walking without his cane and that's what matters. We went back to the surgeon today and she was just thrilled with his progress. They did an X-ray and the knee is in there perfectly...perfect fit...she measured his ability to bend it and was very, very pleased. He's going to start out patient physical therapy tomorrow to get stronger. She wants him to do some work on a stationary bike to really get it moving. He'll do the therapy for 2-3 weeks. Since the surgery was on his left knee, she released him today to drive again...OMG he nearly kissed her. He's not very good at being a passenger so that was all very hard for him. He's free...he's one happy man. Again, a big thank you for all of your comments and e-mails checking in on him.
Here he is...and here's my Schnibble for this month
...I wasn't at all sure I was going to get this done, but I went upstairs today and didn't come down until I was done...It was lots of fun to do and it will be so cute on my kitchen table for Thanksgiving when the kids come.
I'm seeing more sewing in the days to come now that Andy is getting more and more back to normal...he's really enjoying doing things for himself again...and if he's happy...I'm happy!

What wonderful news that your quilt holder is back in biz - you both must be thrilled! Love your Schnibbles - great use of the fabric!
It's very hard for most men to suddenly have to rely on other to do everything for them. Some women too, but men especially. I KNOW he's happy to be released to work even harder at getting back to normal!
Cute as a bug! That will look fab on your table!
Bright and beautiful, this Schnibbles quilt is! Great news for hubby. Yay! Always good when life can get back to a normal routine!
Yeah for Andy, aka The Quilt Holder, I am happy for both of you. Life is just grand when you feel Good!
Love your Schnibble, I guess I better plant myself in the ROOM too and get mine done. Love your fabric choices.
Congratulations! Love the great news on the healing. Fantastic to have the Dear Quilt Holder back. Surely missed him in the picture and by the way, I'm really extra happy he can drive again. There's something I can relate to - being without on rare occasion - is not fun at all. I'm extra EXTRA happy for the freedom, release and independence. Let's hear it for Independence Day!
Yeah for the return of the Quilt Holder! He's been missed *s*
That is wonderful, Carol!! I'm so glad your hubby is doing so well, and I LOVE your quilt top---you're right, it will be great for Thanksgiving! :)
