Oh! I just remembered!
I use Miracle of Aloe Miracle of Foot Repair cream on my hands (or anywhere else) that is cracked or chapped. It's a very heavy duty moisturiser with a light peppermint scent and it always does the trick for me. As I get older, my skin is getting thinner and more easily damaged (I always did have thin skin, so this is getting really bad). If my skin dries out, then I really have problems. Miracle of Aloe to the rescue!

You get them at walgreens and walmart or staples. it keeps the needle from sliding on the skin. Love that you hand quilt, I do as much as my achinbg hands can do. Pace yourself. Flex your fingers. I also founs=d a product called Crack it I think it is for the annoying cracked fingers. It stings when put on at night but it works. Good Luck
