These are all really touching letters. And I don't feel so bad about some in my family now! I have made quilts for all the children, almost all the grandchildren and all the g grand children. Two did not acknowledge the 4 quilts and 1 wall hanging, and one never used the baby quilt for a ggchild. It wasn't as soft as the fleese ones that were bought and it had cat fur on it, (after several washings)maybe a hair or 2.
Win a few and lose a few. It was hurtful, so they won't receive any additional quilts. and the quilts that are bed size cost $300 + to have quilted. I really enjoy making covers for kids for our quilt guild project so I make one a month for that project.
