It will be a year this February that I have been making quilts and now Bow Tucks purses. I've made 4 full size quilts, 1 lap quilt & 1 baby quilt that I've given away as gifts. I have 6 Bow Tucks purses that are to be Christmas gifts...with 2 of those under construction right now. I do like to see the gifts appreciated, but what happens after I give them away is not up to me. I gave a full sized quilt with horses on it to a "horse loving" friend and she pleasantly surprised me by hanging it on her bedroom wall as decoration. My thinking is that when you give it away as a gift it's no longer your's to be concerned about.
