Please enjoy your friend's gift. I also have AMD and who knows how long I have left to sew. I sew every day because I can right now and I thank God for another day that I can sew. Some days are better than others for sure. I have plans for all of my stash when the time comes for me to quit sewing. I want to give it to other who will use it to brighten the lives of others by charitable work. I am sorry about the entry above where a husband burned fabric. Uncounted losses to be sure in lots of ways.
