Yes I would , she may feel like she's drowning and that could be just the life preserver she needs. Since she has been cut off from family , she must think alot of you to have come to you for support. Just keep it simple , maybe a panel with blocks added around the sides, maybe a scrappy strip quilt, maybe a theme of "New Beginings".Just knowing that someone cares and has your back can mean so much. Also let her know that it took x amount of time and mention something like "wouldn't it be neat if you could pass it on one of these days"it would help her to look at the future. :-D Good luck and I will pray for her.
