My mother told me she does not want me to make her a quilt.
I mentioned that I would like to make one for her and she said that she had no need for one. She asked me if I knew how to do some type of fabric folding for a wall hanging and I said "No"
I made one for my dad and he uses it all the time. Mom still does not want one.
My Mother in Law, on the other hand has two of my quilts and she tells me almost every time I see her how much she loves her quilts.
