Sorry your time and work were not fully appreciated.
Years ago my cousin did absolutely beautiful hand quilting. She passed away and her daughters did not even offer to sell her quilts to mom or me. They took them to Calif and sold them I was told. But I finally got two table toppers made by her at an auction. (In a pile of tea towels,hand towels and such for $5.00) At least I have some of her work now and she is the one who got me interested in quilting.
