I'm glad that your daughter-in-law appreciates the work and beauty of quilts. I'm only sorry that she has but her burden of finding a present on you. I would tell her that since so much time, energy and money go into your quilts you have chosen to give them only to a few chosen people. Each quilt is a gift of yourself. Your daughter-in-law asking for quilts for her family may be irritating because she is taking advantage of you. If she isn't purchasing the supplies and paying you for your time you have become a free source of presents.

It saddens me to read that so many of us have had our giftes taken for granted. Without a simple note of gratitude.
