Ok, most of you know I've been working on this quilt "Kentucky Wagon Wheel" for 1 of my daughter-in-laws. Well after talking to my son the other night ( he was crying part of the time) He thinks she is fixing to divorce him as soon as he gets her moved back to Kentucky. I can't finish this quilt right now. Every time I look at it I go to pieces. It just hurts to much. I never expected this from her. Do I just put the quilt up for awhile and see how things go. Maybe later on regardless I can finish it and give it to one of their boys when they are older.

That is pretty stressful.
Sorry to hear this.
I would put the quilt away for awhile and see how things turn out.
You know how we sometimes worry that things are worse than they are?
I would just wait and see.
In the meantime I will be thinking of you, your son, his wife and children and hope they can get this all worked out.

Okie, it is so hard when our kids are hurting. I'm sorry. My prayer is that this situation ends up with peace and happiness. If it were me, I definitely would put the quilt away for awhile, see how things pan out, then decide. If it doesn't go to your DIL, and you don't want to give it to one of the boys, it could always be given to a church for fundraising or to charity. Just a thought. All the best to you and your family.

Grandad always counseled: Figure out what is the worst that can happen, figure out what you will do if the worst happens, and anything less than that is easy, peasy, a blessing.
You have a good plan ... now, practice the five minute exercise?

How disappointing to have the intended recipent disapoint you like that. I am the mom of a wonderful son whose wife left him when he was in Iraq for the first time because "It wasn't much fun to stay at home" Luckily I convinced her to give him all of the personal handmade things that came from our family. So I understand the hurt, but in a while you'll feel more like finishing the quilt. In the meantime, work oin another project. Hang in there!
