I love to give to people who will appreciate homemade items. However, there is only a couple in both side of our family that would appreciate a quilt. I made one for my Sister's small baby and she never even called to thank me. I ended up calling her and she said " Oh, yeah, it was pretty Thanks!" after 2 weeks of receiving it. I don't think so... I made a table runner for my "mil" and she just sorta tossed it aside and didn't even say thank you.... My Aunt and my step-son and my little boy are the only ones that I will make anything homemade for again. I have made scrapbooks and all sorts of homemade stuff and gave to family members and they are very unappreciative. That being said I have also decided to make stuff for those who appreciate the work going into a quilt and that would be my Husband and I...lol... I agree with whomever said it was very gratifying to a quilter to give a quilt that you have made but for me only if it is appreciated by the recipient..
