What you don't work, you do housework, you make charity quilts, in my book that's still working. As for the unpolite comment-what does she do in the time she's off "work"...not to hurt feelings of anyone, but I work a full time job, help DH on the farm and am on my 14th quilt in a year. Perhaps not having time is not her issue.
You are a wonderful person for donating your time and material
