a little over 2 years ago I was healthy and active. Now I use a wheelchair around the house and a walker when I go out, needless to say I hate them both.
I was not having much luck tying my Patriots quilt in my lap, moving around and having a hard time trying to get the heavy needle through. I can't afford a frame right now
I don't know what made me do it but I rolled it up to the row I was tying, put it over the walker handles. I can roll my wheelchair so my legs are between the walker legs I put my arms on the quilt over the handles and with my duct taped fingers pop the needle and yarn right through!
Old dogs CAN learn!

I agree. Good for you David! Be sure to post a picture of the quilt you're tying, OK?
