I am saddened by this thread. I honestly wish the person's family had a higher regard for the time, money and efforts of this woman's quilting life. But, like someone mentioned, the grief is monumental for the family. They are not in a great state of mind to make good decisions. We will never know what the family thought about her hobby.
I refuse to let that stop my enjoyment of sewing quilts and gifts during my life. It has been to me like a best friend. It makes me happy and not everything has that kind of power in my world. My friends. family and charities enjoy and value my work and time. So, I hope no one stops or feels undervalued because of these words. A sad testimony for sure.
