Some people have even sait to me, wow, you made me something, it probably didn't cost much, if they only knew. My dmil loves all things i make and i look forward to making her things.
When my cousin asked me to make her a quilt, she asked how much it would be. I told her the cost of materials. She was shocked at how much materials were. If you don't sew, you don't understand the cost involved.
I guess I'm lucky, as far as I know anyone I have ever gifted with a quilt of mine has loved it. I made quilts for 3 friends who all had babies last fall, and all 3 adore the quilts & use them every (or nearly) every day! One mommy actually cried when I asked for the quilt back for a couple days so I could 'finish' it with her daughter's initials & birthdate.
