I think I would have her look at a site where quilts can be purchased like http://www.quiltsforsale.ca/ (no affiliation, just one I ran across) or for even more sticker shock have her look at a site that sells Amish quilts that are all hand done ($600.00 and up) - you can always go down, but never up!
When I first gave Mom her embroidery machine, I prepared her for people coming out of the woodwork asking for stuff. I told her to have them go out and buy all the thread, stabilizer and the blanks. A few went shopping; Mom had no takers tho :lol: I joked with her that the over 70 crowd is a tough one! (She was 72 at the time.)
