Heather, I think your idea was inspired! If only my mom had known of that [plan of attack] a few years ago, it would have saved a lot of hurt feelings. When she saw the hand knit baby sweater for my niece under muddy ball shoes on the floor of my sisters' car, her heart broke. And mine for her. I wish I could say that it was a one time offense on my sis' part, but unfortunately it is a way of life for her. She actually has apologized to her friends for the beautiful sweaters & quilts that have been given to her!! As if handmade has less value than store bought instead of the treasure it truly is! Having a small idea of how a quilt would be received is such a great suggestion. You may have single-handedly saved many a hurt heart this holiday season!!
THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!
