Quilting also serves as physical and mental therapy for me. I have chronic pain from a neck and shoulder injury, fibromyalgia, and all the accompanying problems, including arthritis. I had to quit working as an LPN, and go on disability. Quilting has given me a way to be constructive and productive again, not to mention useful. I love making quilts for those who have a need for them. Being able to contribute again does wonders for my morale.
