As soon as I finish the quilt I am working on now, I am going to make some quilts for the local hosp. I talked to 2 different hosp. in my area and they are both eager for blankets for their NICU, Pediatric units.
Last year I donated several fleece blankets to the local Cancer treatments center - may or may not do that again this year depending on time.
Just because quilting is not your daughter's "thing" she shouldn't be negative about you doing it. If it makes you happy to do it, it has accomplished what it is supposed to do.
Keep on doing it and enjoy every minute!
