I am the "finisher", Jan. I go visit, see something she's started probably 30 years ago or longer, and I take it home and finish it for her. And not just her, I finished baby afghans for sisterinlaws and quilts for nieces. While I was with my MotherInLaw for those six weeks I found embroidered pillowcases she had done. The crocheted edge had been made by MILs GRANDMOTHER. There are exactly enough sets for each of her granddaughters to receive one. Most of these are finished but some need embroidery finished or the crochet edge done. When I need a quilting break I am finishing her embroidered pillowcases. The plan is to gift a set on each granddaughters birthday the year following grandmas passing.
