My mother-in-law likes to make things. She's an avid quilter and has made quilts for Project Linus for years. She also knits caps for the homeless. She made a sport jacket for my son, Christopher, out of one of his boyhood Marimekko bedsheets. Now, she's working on a cross-stiched embroidery for one of her grand-neices. She's quite good at it. Even with a cat on her lap.
