Hi Brenda - at 53 I also am disabled. It is difficult at best but as I always say the beat goes on. I figure enough I have to live with it no need for me to burden others with it though I screw up mightily sometimes. Having said that, my disabilities are the very LEAST of my problems with grasping this quilting but I am not giving up. I've been plugging for 5 years now and simply won't let my crap ended stuff dictate my future. Besides I just say it adds character. Will add you to my prayer list. bryanne
