My best wishes to you on coping with physical problems so you can continue to quilt. I have rheumatoid as well as osteo arthritis in hands neck, back, knees, feet, etc. I also have fibromyalgia and carpal tunnel disease. Now I am recovering from a spinal cord injury and I have had to learn to stand and walk again, plus regain the use of my hands. I've made a lot of progress, I'm home now and can't wait to get to my quilting. I will learn patience so that I can return to quilting slowly and learn to quit when I'm tired. Knontinuow that you are not alone, quilters make the best support system ever. Continued blessings to you. MargeD
