I have Parkinson's Disease and RA. I have always made all kinds of crafts but it is hard now to sit, stand, or anything for very long periods of time. The Quilting is great bcause you have to move. You have to cut, to iron, to lay out patterns, to sew and all of these require movement. So it is great for me. When one position starts to bug me I just move to another step. This Qulting Board has really been fun. You just can not leave here in a bad mood! I have enjoyed and learned so much reading everyones commets. I just can not get off here and continue to act like a witch, you all put me in to good of a mood!
