My only experience not too long ago. I “met” a woman on words with friends and we became Facebook “friends” and texted. She knows I am a quilter. Her mother passed. In her mothers things she found a half completed quilt with pattern and The rest of the fabric. I think it was a kit. She offered to pay me (Um no) to finish it for a baby granddaughter. It was so challenging because the mother had dementia and the completed parts were half hand sewed and half machine and all wonky. I managed to fix some of it, left some alone and made the rest of the blocks which turned out well. I put a back on it, quilted it and sent it. Honestly it became a labor or love because I was thinking how that mother had presence Of mind to start it and then it went askew and then she died. I thought Of the baby who would only know her great grandmother by the quilt. My friend was very touched by it and did give it to the baby.
