Yes! What an inspiration her story is. I also am in my 80's and keep trying. I am handicapped and not able to stand up very long due to a severe twisted and crooked spine. I have lost 7 1/2 inches in height in the last several years. But I can use precuts and make pretty blocks sitting down.

I would love to see your cousin's quilt finished, please post a picture later. Whoever is recipient of this quilt will be so blessed...it was even prayed over.

Amazing! She is beautiful. To be the answer to someone's prayer is to know you are in the right place at the right time!

Wonderful. I so appreciate hearing about people who are "old", and still able to make beautiful things. I have a friend who collapsed and was unresponsive for many months. She was over 85 at the time. She is now living in assisted living and able to continue making quilts with the help of another friend. It was this friend who got her back into quilting.

I'm not so young myself and hope to keep on for a long time. I have to sew up that stash, right? ? ?
