    Very beautiful.....love the colors and sorry to hear of your stroke but good that you are still sewing for therapy.....i'd probably do the same.....i sew just to relax and have something to do at times.

    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.

    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.

    Unhappy Crayon Box Quilt

    Thank you all for your kind words of encouragement and compliments. I suffered a thalamic stroke in August and am pleased to say speech was not affected. Face and leg have recovered but hand is still struggling, especially when typing, having to correct almost every second word is annoying because strange things happen when striking certain keys on aluminium keyboard!

    The biggest scare came early this month when I was called in to dialysis clinic for assessment; so glad they haven't begun the procedure just yet (though it will happen before too long) because I can't imagine how I will sew, knit or crochet with one hand whilst attached to a machine for hours at a time - I sew every waking moment I can but don't read unless they're quilting patterns and books!
