The same time we received a Christmas card from one of these in-laws addressed to “Mr and Mrs Graham.” SERIOUSLY?! Even our service providers know our first names. It took me to a whole new level of crazy and in my already emotional state (plus I had that nasty cold), I posted a rather impressive hissy-fit on FB (with public setting). It was clean and I didn’t name anyone BUT the message left nothing to the imagination. Something to the effect of “if we are so monumentally unimportant in your life, why are we on the card list?” Eventually the offending parties saw my post (which really was my intention) and they in turn sent me scathing messages. They were looking for a fight (angry little hobgobblins). Too bad for them I wasn’t in the fighting mood. I am so DONE with these people.
End result, I am (we are) now officially voted off the island AND we won’t be getting any more Christmas cards. I call that MISSION ACCOMPLISHED!
Fast forward a few days and another in-law posted a comment about airing dirty laundry on FB. It was clearly directed at me (not that I care). As soon as I saw that post, I started laughing because the name for the quilt was set. It totally fit, as this project helped me get through the chaos of the Christmas week.
The most interesting parts to all of this:
I totally get the concept of being “indifferent” toward someone.
I know that I am DONE with someone when they are crossed off my “quilt-worthy” list.
Now you know about my dirty laundry.

MadQuilter, thanks for sharing your story. Know that you are not alone! I feel the same way many times. Love your "dirty laundry" quilt. Happy New Year. You must feel like a weight has been lifted off your shoulders. No more thinking about them!

Martina, believe it or not but I can totally relate! You can choose your friends but not your relatives.
Have a Happy New Year everyone! I have stalked this list this past year and just did a brief inventory of my UFO's. Hello, my name is Sue. I'm a ...... can't say it. But I think I need help, just between you and me. LOL
