A friend of mine just had a birthday, and is going through a tough time - her parents are ailing badly and she has twin 12-year old sons with autism. Seemed like she needed a quilt for her birthday. I wanted it to reflect her Mexican heritage, so I chose bold prints from Alexander Henry (splurged on the good stuff). I completed it in five days, a first for me, and I also noticed how much easier the FMQ is coming.
The only disappointment is that her response to my gift was very underwhelming, it seemed like she barely looked at it when she opened it at her party, and she never said a word to me about it. I'm feeling kind of deflated, and I'm wondering if I should be doing this for friends. Does anybody else have experience with that depressing feeling, that our efforts didn't have the impact we had hoped?
