DH always brags about the impact of my charity quilts. I think he was as thrilled as I was when I was chosen quilter of the year last year. One thing he never does is ignore the value of my work, nor for that matter, my work as a special ed teacher before I was disabled from the job.
I don't blame DH at all for his part in this. He had a major stroke 7 weeks ago. When he was in the rehab hospital, he was greatly concerned by the people around him in PT who needed to be pressured to do anything. Having previous experience with the value of quilts to encourage and focus people on LIFE, and knowing that I agree with him, he had no question that I would want to make the quilts he offered. Perhaps i should have said that a part of my frustration is that I broke a piece in my sewing machine. DH insisted that I call my dealer and arrainge purchase of a back up machine so I would not have THAT delay another time while waiting to get to the shop (150 miles round trip over 3 mountain passes).
