Greetings and welcome from the Southern Tier of NYS! (1/2 hour south of Seneca Lake) I'm sorry to hear about your health issues - I have several of my own that keep me from doing what I want to do, namely quilting. So I understand how you feel. I hope for your that you are feeling better soon, and that your shoulder replacement goes well! This is a great place for tips, friendship, hints, and assistance. Please feel free to ask for help or just vent! We would love to see your quilts!
