bearisgray,

hiya sweets! I guess the long-armer had a lot going on,
and I think everybody learned some things from this.
It did turn out well in the end...yes!

I do not know if I could quilt if I had lost center vision in both eyes, much less create such a beautiful quilt.)

Before my mom lost so much of her vision, she sewed and crafted
tons of stuff.
I never even realized all she did till she moved and inherited stuff.
She really is amazing, and like you, not sure I could do this with
loss of vision either.
Her love of creating made her soldier on. I can only hope to find
that kind of strength in myself

I couldn't wait to let you guys know, I was so excited.
Had to wait for another brother to send me pictures.
I can't wait to talk to my oldest brother, that received the
quilt and hear him gush. We are proud of my mom for
pushing through with the stuff she deals with. Yay, mom!
