Returned home for the AZ Quilt Retreat last night. Dead tired, but happy! :-)
I'll post pictures in my webshots, will put the mystery quilt that we did at the retreat here, once I sew the final three rows on.

I've managed to get the body of the Best Friends quilt together, and need to add a purple border before I put a picture of it up here.
I've been working on another quilt, called Nine-Patch Garden, and have it done except for the final border, which will be 10 1/2" wide, and have vines and more nine patch 'flowers' appliqued onto it. I'm adding a picture of the top, done through the dark brown border, which is hard to see in the picture. I need to have longer arms.

I've gotten a lot more done on the Best Friends quilt top. Only one more row of sashings and blocks to add before I'm ready for borders.
My eye is better, but still puffy. This picture is 5 days after surgery, and I can still only open it a crack, and still have double vision. I have to open the right eye that wide to get the left eye open.

There must be an ounce of fluid in that under eye pouch!

The surgeon says everything is coming along well.

Eye surgery

I've been working on some more UFOs, but have been slowed down temporarily by a detached retina. Had surgery Saturday afternoon, and this is what I look like by Monday afternoon.
