When I was younger, I probably would have felt very guilty if someone gave me a quilt or other project to finish whether it was to finish for them or to finish and find a home for it. I'm in my 70's now and I don't feel the need to accept everything others want to give me. I 'm fine saying, "Thank you for thinking of me but I have too many other things I want to do and can't possibly add any more items to my list." I know I should be able to just say, NO, but I feel that that would be taken as rudeness by many in my family or circle of friends.
