thread portrait for my sister's anniversary
#24
Thanks for all the kind words. I am hoping the quilt brings them comfort as they are really going through a stressful trial in their lives riht now - and the only answer seems to be prayer.

I showed it to my sister last night (since they had lost their home, I am hanging on to it for them). I know she is going through alot right now, but she barely glanced at it, and her hubby didn't say a word. I know they are not quilt people, but I was really disappointed in the reaction - or lack thereof.
I have started trying to estimate the stitches, and have so far come up with about 18,000 stitches for the background only. That does not include the 4 people or the border. My sister just said "glad you like to do that kind of thing". I poured my heart and tears into every stitch! It is only the second time I have done this sort of thing.
We had a good evening of family fellowship other than this, so I know it is not necessarily that they are numb from their circumstances right now. We were laughing and discussing all kinds of things throughout the evening.
Oh, well. Guess I did it becuase I love her/them - and not for praise. I just wonder if I should not even give it to them? I don't want to force something on them, that they obviously don't appreciate or care for.
