i think you are pushing her , not everyone is interested in doing something like this , i would just let her be adnyou should just kindly let her know that if and when she decides to want to quilt you would be there to help her
now on the other hand i have a pushy mother in law and the more she pushes the more i stand my ground and refuse to do what she wants me to!!! and i am at the point that when she calls i dont answer the phone and i dread the thought of her coming to my house because she thinks i should do things that she likes and i like to do things that i want to do
