As I have discussed previously, been having terrible pain in my hands. Similar to Carpol Tunnel, actually Neuropathy.

Standard Rotary Cutters was causing pain but had to use. A friend recommended the Martelli cutter.

The cutter to some time to get used to. But the ergonomics really help with pain. I know these are not the most affordable option. But if you have hand wrist or arm pain, have to say it really works. And thus well worth the price

The eldest ones said that the laughter and tears are sewn right into the quilt, part and parcel, stitch by stitch. Emotions, experiences, heartbreak, mourning, pain and regret, stitched into the cloth, along with happiness, satisfaction, cheer, comfort, and love. The finished quilts were a living thing, a reflection of the spirits of its creators.
