I am so sorry that your quilt was mis-treated. I love being able to give quilts to people.
Everyone I have given has been received and very much appreciated. My DD has her son's baby quilt in the car with them at all times. The little dear can now say that his Granny made it.
I sent a baby quilt last weekend to a girl who went to school with my DD. DD said she cried when she opened the quilt.
I gave one last summer to a girl who was expecting, she watched me work on it and I didn't get it finished before she had the baby. She called me just as soon as she got out of the hospital. Asked me if I wanted to come by and see the baby....she sure was glad I had the quilt in hand.
Another one I gave away at work and the girl said her older child was trying to take it before the baby was there.
You get the idea, maybe I have been very blessed but so far I have gifted to people who love quilts.
