Thank you, I've seen that just within the last couple of months how friendly and helpful people can be.

I really think I am doing pretty good coping, better than most would.

I am just glad that I am the type of person that I am and that I don't give up. I used to be a programmer so I loved trying to figure things out using different methods.

When I first tried doing crafts after I lost my center vision. I finished an afghan, which took me about 5 months. Then noticed that I had made a mistake in the first 6 inches. I couldn't stand it. So I started ripping it out. When my husband walked in the room he just saw my hand flailing in the air ripping out the yarn. He couldn't see the mistake but I could. I persisted. I got to making an afghan in less than 2 weeks. Like I said I did a lot by feel of the hands.

Now I am trying quilting, and have made about 10 blocks. I just joined a quilting class yesterday which starts next month.

Happy quilting!
