I've worked with a lot of early stage dementia patients. My father had sundown dementia and my mother's solution was to just yes him all the time. It worked pretty well. My 95 year old mother doesn't have dementia but we do all important things in the morning when she isn't tired. It just makes life easier.
Wishing for everyone to get better quickly.
Unfortunately I don't think I'll be able to join the next boom. I bought the fabric but the timing doesn't work unless one of the groups has ten or so members. I'll have to lurk instead.
I love FMQ. Angel Walters has a glass of wine next to her in her midnight hour quilting videos. I think giving yourself permission to not be perfect is key with FMQ. I drink a small glass of beer at 5 pm, quilting or not. I bought a used sweet sixteen this year and have had a lot of fun transferring my skills to that. It just takes practice and fearlessness.
