What a thoughtful thing to do together!
I saw the exhibit when it was in Philadelphia last year. DH didn't even enter that part of the museum, DD's both left me after a couple of minutes. They expected great art quilts or fantastically executed traditional pieces.
I tried to explain it was about a gift of love and warmth using what you had to take care of your family, but they did't quite get it. Then again, neither of them care for quilts in general.
Luckily, the museum had lots for the three of them to look at while I enjoyed the Gees Bend exhibit.
Hope you're feeling better soon.
