Here's the obverse side of the coin. Even though my ex-dil and son have been divorced for 16 years and she lives in Germany, she and I are still "in love" with each other. So, for her daughter's (not my son's child) 12th birthday this Spring I made her a garden quilt. My dil's family apparently has absolutely NO craft talent, but you would have thought I'd given them a treasure from the Taj Mahal. Now I've made a quilt for her son's upcoming 7th birthday. I feel like the luckiest, most loved "ex" mil in the universe!
