I fully understand your situation. I just finished a major project - making the quilt for our family reunion in July. I had a deadline to get it to my niece who got a long-arm last year and she has offered to quilt it. I keep telling her that she has to take over for me some day, but she says I'm too young to retire yet. It's nice to know though that someone will continue the tradition I started OMG about 18 years ago, making a quilt every other year, and the family looks forward to seeing what I come up with using the fabric they send - I choose a color scheme. It works and part of me will be passed down (hopefully) to other generations and I will be remembered.
