You just never know.
I visited my sister a couple of weeks ago. Had not been to her home for almost 15 years. (We live across the country from one another) Her daughter who is in her mid 20's is expecting her first child. I brought her a quilt and she loved it. I then mentioned that my work was a little better now than when I first started quilting and explainted to her the quilt that I had sent her mom when she was born and could only imagine how it probably fell apart after only a few washes. To my surprise, my sister went upstairs and came down with the little quilt that I had made for her daughter, raggetty seams and all, stains and the 4 corner yarn pieces still there that held the quilt together (no other quilting whatsoever to hold that thing together) My point is that you never know who will love and treasure your efforts, so give with all your heart and let your heart rejoice when you find out that it mattered to them that you made something.
