About a decade ago, Joan Lautensack learned that she had age-related macular degeneration. Accepting the reality that she would likely lose her vision, the longtime needlework artist began teaching herself how to work without seeing what she was doing.

“I basically do mostly just free form kind of things — no counted cross stitch or anything I have to be specific about where I’m putting the needle,” Lautensack said. The Jeffersonville woman, who began stitching at a young age, once taught home economics and stitching at night schools.
