Needlework is too

difficult to call a hobby now.

Hi Jean!

Debbi here~~

I have taken up quilting ... not hand but machine. It is sort of perfect for

EDS/FM because you move from station to station (iron, sewing machine, work

light, cutting table)

For me it is really painful to sit or stand for more than 10 minutes in the

same place. All those stations can easily be lowered to accommodate your

chair. My dad made my cutting table with adjustable legs for the days my hip

pops

out and I have to be seated all day...

Also, quilting does not require you handling BIG quantities of material in

your lap while you are doing the piecing. You can always have someone do hand

quilting for you once the quilt top is done.

I am enjoying it very much. Fabric and I are friends!

Will have to send you a picture of some of the blocks that I have done.

Hope you are well.

Debbi
