An adjustable chair has really helped to keep me sewing comfortably. I received several gift cards to Office Depot so I only had to pay a small amount...The chair was $200 and I got to choose the fabric...My machine is Bernina and my tables and shelves are IKEA. I know the chair was expensive but maybe you can hint at gift cards (for birthday, christmas, hanukah, kwanzaa...) from a favorite chair store?

Lutheran World Relief sends quilts and sewing kits among other things, all over the world. Here's the link for the quilt page which has lots more links in a column on the right.

What a great way to use old photos and show your changing fashion and body type as you age...Imagine the stories you can tell just pointing to a figure...much smaller than a quilt but contains all the stories in fabric. Inspiring. Thanks!
