Along ...So sorry about the news you have received. Along with all the other well wishes and suggestions I have one more to offer. Similar to folks who use computers in their daily lives and have spinal issues, perhaps making a standing sewing table would allow you to continue machine stitching for limited periods of time. I see that many table manufacturers are making tables that adjust to standing heights. God bless you and your recovery.

We all have roadblocks in our lives and I believe God helps us to find a way, even if it a different direction. <br />Cudos to you for selling and or giving away your collection of fabric and patterns.

Is it possible that the machines with " stop and go" buttons could help you? Not sure if it's the sitting or foot pedal that bothers your discs. Hmmmm, maybe you could design some more pretty fabric.

Curses! But you said you couldn't make a quilt that 'required' a machine. There is no such thing as requiring a machine!! Any quilt can be pieced by hand! It's much more relaxing and you'd be surprised at how nicely it relaxes you. Don't give up, just look for other ways.

I feel your heart pains as we divest ourselves of our fabric.
