We have all been there, done that.
Baby quilts all nieces and nephews wait for.
lots of quilters in our family.
A few years ago, I had a ten year old, tell me he still uses
his baby blanket. Babies get attached to them you know.
It just takes a word from a little one to make you forget
about not being thanked by others.
I was hurt once by knowing my dad gave something away.
But it was his to give as I gave to him. He just thought that other person would enjoy it and keep it. Yes quilts take time but also buying a gift does also. Not everyone likes what you do.
When you give a gift, it does not matter what it is, it is theirs .
We have all received things that we later put in yard sales and never touched. Same with a quilt. Just that we put our heart and souls into them.
I say I will be more careful with whom I give a quilt, but who knows what they do with it.
If a person tells me thank you of any sort, I am happy.
Thank you at time of present is enough for me as I know how lax others are at sending thank yous.
