I know you all say "once it's out of your hands" but have you ever put alot of work into a quilt & had it used as a dog blanket, not used at all, not acknowledged? You put your heart into making it & to see it not appreciated hurts. I'd loved to see my grandbabies drag around their 'blankies' until they were worn & tattered but they were given these cheap fuzzies when they were little so that is what they got use to. Really makes you NOT want to do something special. And then they bring the cheap fuzzies to me to fix the binding on all the time! Errrrrr!
