Mend and Sew requests:
I tell them, No, I won't do it, but I will show you how.
They don't care for that.
As to the quilting, the ones who ask me for a quilt fall into 2 categories:
Young adults (girls) in the generation from me, mostly neices, who have not taken care of the quilts that my mom/their grandmother made for them back when.
And people who want me to make them a quilt because I quilt.
To the first, I say No, but I will show you how to make your own quilts. Some of them like the idea, but some of them actually want a quilt made by me, the oldest of Mom's kids. Next best thing to herself, I think.
But I've not seen one person in my generation nor the next one down take care of one of Mom's quilts. Why would I make them one??
To the second, I say, I guarantee you have no idea how much a quilt from me would cost you, really you don't.
