After a long absence, I think I'm back. I recently had cataract surgery and I'm now amazed how clear and sharp edges can be. I may even be able to get that 1/4" seam now, but I will not hold my breath. Quilting and my quilting friends helped me get through the loss of my son. They kept me very busy. I did 4 quilt tops in 3 weeks. And then I sewed samples for the local shop. I know they needed these done, but they also wanted to keep me busy. When my mind was occupied with the job at hand, I wasn't thinking of "what if". Although, I haven't posted, I have been reading occasionaly. If I missed anything important, please let me know!

Its so nice to hear from you Bonnie.We missed you. Thank goodness for great friends keeping you going. Now the eyes are fixed you wont have any excuses for the 1/4 in seams! lol
Good to hear from you! Keep busy by keeping busy! My DH had cataract surgery about a year ago. He tells everyone - "If you need it, DO IT! You'll be amazed!" So if any one else out there is contemplating the surgery - it'll make all the difference in the world! ME-Judy
I'm really pleased you've popped back in, Bonnie. So glad the surgery went well; and that you have found ways of coping. . In message , Bonnie NJ writes
Hi Bonnie, Great to see you back. Glad you've been keeping busy and the surgery went so well. If you ever wander down to Pennington Quilt Works, give a holler if you're in the mood for a meet up.

Hi Bonnie,
So glad you popped in. Thank goodness for wonderful friends. :-) Hope you'll be able to make more regular visits to RTCQ now.

Very good to see you here again, Bonnie. Good for you about the surgery outcome. Don't brag too much on that clear vision (don't claim 100% correction) .... you want a 'fall back' in case your seams are a tad off. ;) Pat in Virginia
Well, I pick up my new glasses today. It seems that I still have an astigmatism, so I guess things weren't as clear as I thought! Bonnie NJ
