What a beautiful quilt. So sorry to hear you had a stroke, but hopefully it will get better with time. I understand your frustration with the numbness and not being able to sew. I spent 18 months after I had a torn rotator cuff repaired; but continued with severe pain which meant I could barely sew. However, in May I had surgery to replace my shoulder and I couldn't be happier. Besides the loss of pain, I have been able to resume quilting again and when I can't quilt, I am not a happy camper. Wish you well.
