This is a wonderful way to honor your mother. Good luck to her in her new living situation. I am in the early stages of dealing with a similar situation on the East Coast. Is your mom still able to quilt? My mom loves to quilt and is physically failing.....hard for her to sew a straight seam and even harder for her to see handwork well enough to do any hand stitching. It's really depressing her. Any one have any ideas on how to keep a 92 year old quilter happy when her skills are deteriorating? What to do? Currently, we supply her with as much simple straight sewing as we can and do the tricky bits for her.
I wish you and your mom good times as she adjusts.
