said Marvin with a laugh. "She tells
me she forgot how to cook and
doesn't want to re-learn it."
Cohn said she has some favorite
memories. She made a memo-
rable quilt to welcome her new
stepdaughter into the family. She
recently finished an embroidered
quilt of all dogs and one of all cats
for a second cousin in New York
who loves Hello Kitty.
"The whole time I'm sewing I'm
thinking that I can't wait to see the
person's face when they get my
quilt," Cohn said.
It's also about bringing joy to
those who need it in her commu-
nity. As a member of two quilting
guilds, Cohn gives back using her
talents.
The Ann Arbor Quilting Guild
makes quilts for SafeHouse Center,
an Ann Arbor shelter facility for
domestic/sexual violence victims.
"The women and children get
to take our quilts with them when
they go, that's such a wonderful
thing," Cohn said. "Our guild makes
about 60 or more quilts a month for
the shelter."
As if she isn't busy enough, Cohn
is in the process of another huge
charity project — creating the 12
Tribes of Israel by needlepoint. "I'm
going to donate it to a local syna-
gogue but haven't decided which
yet," she said.
There's no slowing down now,
not even at her age. She has too
many gifts to create. Cohn's daugh-
ter knows her mother's legacy will
be all of the love she's spread in the
world with the work of her hands.
"I can't sew a stitch myself so
I don't know who in the family
will carry on my mom's legacy —
maybe my daughter because she is
creative," Goldring said. "I can be
the one who preserves her legacy
by taking care of all of the quilts
she's made us to make sure they're
around for a long time, for genera-
tions to come."
