And stitching is all I plan on doing today. My insomnia has returned, and it seems to have no intentions of leaving … some slow stitching has got to be just about the best way of spending a day following a sleepless night.
I am going back and putting in more stitching on already quilted areas of my Kiss quilt … I’m about halfway through, then I can start back in on the unquilted areas.
I did a fair amount of quilting yesterday afternoon, while watching the Blues game. I hope to be able to finish up the extra quilting today so I can get to work on all that unquilted area.
But first I’m going to be working on my Martha Washington’s Flower Garden this morning as last night on our way home from the swim team end-of-season banquet, I suddenly developed floaters and flashes of light out of the corner of my left eye. When I searched online this morning, I see that those can be symptoms of retinal detachment. Since I’m very nearsighted, I’m not a spring chicken any more, and I have chronic blepharitis in that eye, I’m at increased risk for retinal detachment. So I’m going to be heading over to the ER … and will be taking my slow stitching along with me.
I hope that whatever you have planned for today includes a little something that brings you joy … have a great day!

I have floaters too - it was something new for me that started about 3 months ago - I too saw my ophthalmologist. Hope your retina hasn't detached - let us know how you are.
ReplyDeleteWill be keeping you in my thoughts today.. LOVE the extra quilting you have added! Your Kiss Quilt is looking totally kissable :) Kathi
ReplyDeleteBeautiful quilt.
ReplyDeleteI had the same thing..but opthamologist said it was a vitreous detachment. Hope yours is also same thing (if it has to be something) and not a retinal detachment.
Hi Kathy, Lovely quilt! I now know why you knew that I needed to get in when I had the same symptoms. I hope it is just age and nothing more serious, I was glad that mine was just age related. Sounds like you are staying busy as always. I didn't quilt at all yesterday, but plant to today. I'm very thankful that I decided just to run vertical lines in areas of my quilt and not cross hatch-it is taking long enough as it is.
ReplyDeleteHope you have a good day!
Hugs, Noreen
I love that quilt I do hope it isn't anything serious and it passes off quickly.
ReplyDeleteI do hope it isn't retinal detachment. I praying for you,.
I will keep you in prayer today. I hope there is nothing seriously wrong. Your KISS quilt looks huge in that photo. Beautiful too!
ReplyDeleteI hope your eye is ok! Hope you are back to your sewing at home by now. Happy stitching!
ReplyDeletePraying that all is well, Kathy. Glad you are taking some slow stitching with you - sometimes the wait is long. Keep us posted. ~Jeanne
ReplyDeleteSo glad you got some expert advice on your eyes. Your kiss quilt is coming along!
ReplyDeleteOn, Kathy! I hope this proves to be a false alarm. Take care.
ReplyDeleteOh, my, so glad you headed to the ER as that doesn't sound like a good situation. Please keep us updated. The eyes are not anything to be taken for granted. Blessings my friend!
ReplyDeleteOh no!!! I do hope it is not a retinal detachment. Keep us updated as you can.
ReplyDeleteHope the eyes are OK. I had the same thing recently and the Dr said it was "normal" at my age. Keeping fingers crossed for you.
ReplyDeletePraying all will be well with your eyes!
