No, not the branches on the trees here. The daffodils finally are opening and the hellebores have, but little else. The quilt's leaves are rustling.
I have been absent here, not because of the weather, but between Easter prep, guests and making dinner, and then I had cataract surgery combined with glaucoma surgery. I am unable to see in one eye. My right eye is fogged out. It is supposed to last 3-5 days and I am going, frankly, nuts. The eyes are fighting for supremacy, I have no vision but fog in one eye, and I can do little. I am trying hard to do this post. I can't sew or cut or drive or read. The doctor says it is fine. I supposedly have the left eye in less than 2 weeks to do. Might have to be put off. Eyesight is a gift I highly treasure.

Just before eye surgery. Big Purple's first quilt. Rosie thinks it is a hammock.
The leaves done with swirls around them, straight lines in the corners.

That is a beautiful quilt!
Hoping for a quick recovery on your eyes - that has to be annoying, and so frustrating - since you use your eyes for so many things!!
It's scary letting anyone do something to your eyes. My eye with the tumor has limited vision and I'm not sure I would let anyone touch the other eye. I hope it clears up as the dr. predicts and you can get back to normal life.
Sending all sorts of good-healing vibes your way. Eyesight is indeed precious! The quilt looks amazing - you did SUCH a good job with those random pieces!
Your quilt is beautiful - I love the backing, too! I hope your eye heals quickly so you can get back to Big Purple - aka Rosie's hammock - ;))
Yikes.. I would likely be a bit panicked. I highly treasure my eyesight also. I know it was difficult for a day or so after each of my cataract surgeries. The day with the patch over my eye was probably the worst.
Here is hoping for a fast recovery.
so sorry to hear of your vision issues - may they clear up more quickly than predicted!
And the leaves quilt is wonderful, such an example of taking something nice and making it wonderful.

Sending hugs and good wishes for speedy return to normal sight. I can understand your frustration and your thoughts of postponing the next scheduled surgery, can't be in the position of having both eyes not functioning. Patience is hard but as my Mum used to say to me when I was younger 'Patience is a Virtue', not always easy to take that view. You've done a tremendous job with the quilt blocks and the leaves are perfect, blowing in the wind across the surface.
Praying for wonderful result from your eye surgery! Sorry you had to have it, though if it helps you see better it will be a great thing afterward. May God heal your eyes up quickly and give you His peace during this waiting time.
I hope your eye is much better by now! I'm a little behind in reading....
I hope you are seeing better quickly. It must be frustrating.
