I hope my gifts are appreciated as there are many hours spent on making them -- some of them are not to be found in stores, but I know what you mean -- quilts of all sizes for $29, blankets, totes -- I used to make some of my clothes till I discovered sales at Macy's and Dillards with things of better quality and fit than mine -- I am looking forward to family gift exchange to see how my decorated totes with things in them will be received
