What a beautiful job!

I think it is fabulous!!!!! The colors are wonderful and I sure do not see any mistakes. Keep up the good work. On the reading, have you tried audio books? Our library has them, and most bookstores sell them. If it is patterns you want to read, maybe someone could record the directions for you on cassette tapes.

Nice job. I also like the colors and the print. Quilting is good in so many ways. I have Parkinsons and have had to almost give up a lot of my crafts just because it is harder to sit for a long period of time. With quilting I can cut things out - iron - sew - do what ever has to be done and I am moving all the time - not setting in the same position. I love it for that reason. Stay with quilting - you are doing a wonderful job!

Love the colors & layout!

YOu did a great job. I feel for you. I also have central vision loss, though the doctors have not been able to figure out why and it continues to progress. I am still able to work my computer job and craft, but the headaches become insane and eventually I may not be able to work or craft.

You are my inspiration that i will be able to continue, even when it gets worse.

Good for you not giving up!

As you can see, I'm way behind on this blog. I've started by looking at the pictures, starting with the oldest ones.
I too have had a minor stroke, but was luckier then you as most functions came back.
Anyway, I loved your quilt for your gd, it's beautiful....you should be VERY proud of your accomplishments.
Your's is the 1st quilt I have written to. There are lots of beautiful quilts that are way beyond my ability, but yours is the most encouraging quilt I've seen.
Good wishes to you forever.
Mary

HAHA Shirlx - I have to remember this!! sewing variations and personalization!! If this is true I guess all my work is just fine!!

JAN - The quilt is lovely indeed. Like lots of ladies before me said - the colors are great. And I don't know what mistakes you are talking about. Good, Good, Good for you to persevere even when you have limited vision! Thanks for sharing and being an inspiration.
