My SECRET. Go slowly and stay calm.

I had a stroke in my eye. Can't see anything usually but on a good day once in a while I get some light peripherally.

I put my left index finger next to my sewing machine foot and lightly touch it. Be careful. And then I put my right hand closer to me lightly touching the fabric. I sometimes have to just stop, give up my ego and frog it. I started a new quilt today called touchdown. It has small 1" strip sets. I got it done right. The area that is the football lacing is what the strip sets are for. They turned out beautifully and I'm so selfishly proud of myself.

I have only been blind in that eye since 2009. And it happened at night in a second.

Hope that helps.
