My granny taught me how to quilt when I was a little girl. She made me do it. I hated it. In 1999 I was diagnosed with sarcoid in the bones and fibromyalgia. I couldn't walk and then in 2001 I had a stroke andstayed in a wheelchair for 4 years. When I graduated to the walker I was bored to death. So I thought about granny teaching me to quilt. Ibought a sewing machine and quilting became therpy. I can walk now but still can't work due to the fibro. I am on disability and quilting is still therapy. I'll leave this earth quilting :mrgreen:
