There is powerful evidence, too powerful to ignore, that quilting is a desirable and valuable activity to health, wellbeing and maintenance of social ties and independence as we age. Neurological research has found vital brain exercise is involved in making a quilt. Specialists in ageing commend quilting's benefits for brain health and its restorative benefits for social and emotional health and wellbeing. They well know the physical benefits of quilting to the Over 65s.Well, research is all fine, and it's good to have proof of what quilters have known for many years. However, try as we might we can't control the effects of age on our body. For some of us, physical ageing can be a challenge, if not a barrier, to continuing to quilt. As we grow older, hand quilting and machine quilting become difficult as our fingers, hands, shoulders and backs stiffen or become painful through arthritis. Age affects our ability to hold and use quilting tools and manipulate the weight of large quilts. We dread the time when we can no longer enjoy our well loved pastime.In "You're Never Too Old To Quilt", Christine Sutton presents a guide for all who, despite the painful effects of ageing, struggle to keep quilting, and for those who want to learn to quilt, but because of similar physical challenges have been hesitant to try.Based on "Quilt-As-You-Go" methods, Chris identifies tools and techniques to keep us quilting despite our aches and pains, making quilting easier for those struggling to meet the challenges of ageing and disability. Whether you are old hand, or coming to quilting for the first time, there is much in this book to foster the love and joy of patchwork and quilting and encourage quilters to keep on doing what they love.
