I made a very cute dog rag quilt that was not easy to make and was expensive for some dear friends because she thought mine was cute. I made it for her to put on her wall in the baby's room as mine is hanging in my sewing room.
Well I was dog sitting and went into her home and peaked into the baby's room to see how it looked on the wall beings I put wall hangers on it but found it all tucked around the matress in the crib. :evil: You couldn't even tell what it was. The baby had been sleeping on it and soiled it and Ohhhhh was I upset.
They had another baby recently and guess what. I made nothing for them. Nor will I ever. I'm glad I took pictures of it beings I'll never see it again. And your right about some people not understanding the time and effort and cost that goes into our works of art. I know I've made stuff for people though that do appreciate what I've done so that kind of makes up for it. :wink:
