I have only delivered quilts once before and was met with such non-appreciation I was very hurt. I delivered 12 quilts and the gal didn't even look at what I was donating nor ask my name before she took them to the back room. Sometimes I never knew where my donation quilts went after giving them to the guild either. Giving to this shelter was such a positive experience, I can't wait to get started on next year's!
Know what you mean. I gave 50 baby quilts to a friend for newborns. I found out later that her coworkers went thru the quilts and one girl took a quilt with a cat print because 'her cat would just love it". No more donations there. I make quilts for babies not for cats!
