got a good laugh out of "buying you some "real" quilts".
I made a Christmas quilt for each of three kids. the DIL left hers at my house that year. "forgot it". she "forgot it" two other times also. I told my D to be sure that when I die she gives the quilt to DIL so she can see the pretty label--and the year the quilt was made. making projects for your own home is not "selfish". it is loving & caring for your own.
People are sure funny about quilts. sometimes I think they think all of us quilters are crazy spending our time cutting & resewing. but we know---we are the best !!!
