Yikes, very sad & scary. I would have a difficult time giving creative energy over to a person like that as well. I’d like to think I could do it just for the friend but honestly, I am simply not that good. Resentment would burn inside me.
I’m working on a baby quilt as well, a scrappy garden game started May 2020, ha. The friend’s baby is a toddler now but she just had another baby so I plan to finish it soon. Like most of my WIPs it was abandoned at 80% complete so there isn’t much left to do.
