Jane you made those quilts with love and thats what counts if they are not appreciated then make them ones who do appreciate the time and love put into them. The loss of someone you love is always hard I recently lost my brother and found myself in no mood to sew I felt lost. give yourself time to grieve then make something for yourself that will remind you of your friend that you can hang above your sewing machine. We will hold you up with lots of hugs.
