I hope the original woman can be contacted so that we all can learn if this is simply some sort of a mixup in word usage.
Thank you, Bev, for putting my thoughts into more eloquent words. That is
exactly what I was trying to say. I suspect that there was some kind of "error" on the part of the woman who wanted to have another quilt made for her own use. She clearly liked EQ's work, or she would not have contacted her in the first place, IMHO.
Also, since EQ took the donations in herself, and discussed the intent/usage with the director in a face-to-face conversation, it seems odd that this has happened. The biggest problem here (as I see it), is a lack of quality communication between the parties involved. This communication breakdown seems to be the crux of the matter.
Extreme Quilter, have you followe up with RMH or it's governing body? Do you have any update for us on the status of your situation? We are all curious to know exactly what has happened since your original post.
