Quilting is an art, and when you don't want to sew something, then it rapidly turns into work. And work should be paid for.
I wondered about this too. She sees well enough to read a newspaper or a dictionary. It seems she could make accommodations so that she could sew if she really wanted to. I have arthritis I need to accommodate, and I'll sew in spite of the pain just because I love it so much.
