I learned to make quilts by hand as a form of therapy after my stroke. Mine was the hemorrhagic type, also called a "brain bleed". We all face our challenges, the lucky among us have made lemonade from those lemons. As far as having problems holding needles and pins, go to an office supply and get those silicone finger cots, they make it easier for me to hold itty bitty things too. I wear one on my thumb and one on my index finger on my right hand, and even managed to go to the grocery store still wearing them! With them, I can change a needle, or thread a needle with little problem.
