During Recovery; the Hunt for Sewing/Quilting Apps

Surgery number two is done and over.  The recovery continues from the first surgery and now I  begin the process all over again with the second surgery.  Basically overall, one feels great after the anesthesia wears off.  The restrictions during recovery are a killer: first week absolutely no hair washing, and no showers.  After the first week appointment when the doctor said I could wash my hair and do some light walking I thought I had hit the jackpot.  Continuing into the second week or so: keep head above the heart, no lifting, no real exercising no bright lights, no sewing,  etc.  Now to someone whose hip is attached to her sewing machine, this is plain torture.   In other words sit, look pretty, watch TV, and do projects on the computer.  Reading a book was a little straining in dim light.  I am following the doctor's  orders to a "T"; something new to me.  The computer has become my new friend for now.  When not working on scanning old photos and making a picture book using Mixbook, I am browsing the web looking for sewing/quilting apps.

I like to make my life easy especially when it comes to anything dealing with math.  Thank goodness for apps, as I find them on the web,  I will share them on my blog.  Let the hunt begin.
