I read in a quilting magazine about a woman who had had a stroke, loosing use of one side of her body. She was determined to not lose her quilting, her passion. She sews one handed, rotary cuts one -handed (using clamps to secure the ruler & fabric to her cutting surface.

I found these two: by googling "quilting after a stroke"

Neither of them are the woman I read about.

That said, I want to acknowledge that an INJURY is a different thing from a stroke. You have healing to do. Please be wise with regard to your recovery. Find out from your Dr and phys therapists what you are allowed to do, movement wise before you try.

I am sorry you hurt yourself. I hope you heal quickly & completely!
