Your quilt is beautiful. I can totally relate to your situation. I am legally blind, I don't drive or work. Quilting is pretty much my only outlet these days. I do everything by feel. Is there another way? That's how I taught myself. Although I didn't loose my eyesight all at once, I know how it is to have to re-learn everything. You are doing a super great job. You are an inspiration. Thanks for sharing!

It's the stubborn in me and you that makes us figure out a way to get things done. Otherwise, we'd just sit around and do the "woe is me" thing all day and waste away. Necessity is the mother of invention. I'm always figureing out another way to do things I used to be able to do with ease. Where there is a will, there is a way! Part of my mantras.

And being stubborn as h*** only adds to most of our charm :D

His comes back, no reply about the joke, and something always bad. It is a private (not any longer) joke between my husband and I to see what he'll complain out next.
I look at it as there is always someone worse off than me, otherwise I wouldn't be here to complain at all.
Plus the disability has strengthened my periferrial (sp) vision quite a lot. And I do use my hands for touching and feeling. I feel the seams to see if they are straight.
I never realized it until my husband mentioned that I put out my arms to the sides in crowds as people keep running into me.
